Undoubtedly no other industry has seen such tremendous growth like the photography business has in the past 20 years.

With the advent of digital technology the joy of taking photographs has become accessible even to children. Digital technology has not only given us immediate photo satisfaction, since we no longer have to wait for film development, but better quality photos as well.

Cameras on the market today are priced to fit everyone’s budget and the the point and click ease with which you can now take photos guarantees everyone can now enjoy this wonderful art. Digital technology allows people to either develop their photos on their own, using photo editing computer software programs, or print their photos directly from their cameras or memory cards. You can even distribute your photos to family and friends through email or photo sharing websites.

But to those who take photography seriously and view photography as more of an art form; taking photographs is not just a matter of clicking at a button to take pictures. To them this task requires more planning and effort.

The following are a few tips for taking better pictures:

1. When shooting outdoors during bright, sunny, days it would be best to use a flash. This will get rid of the shadows that sometimes appear on the faces of subjects on photographs.

2. Choose a pleasing backdrop, preferably something that suits the atmosphere you want to create. For more serious photographs, a subtle backdrop that is not too distracting is best.

3. Pay attention to who is walking in and out of your photograph, especially if you are in crowds. There is nothing worse than having strangers walking through your photograph.

4. Tell your subjects what you are looking for prior to taking the photo. Giving directions will help you get the shot you want the first time. This is especially important if you are taking photographs of an important event such as a graduation or wedding. To ensure you create lasting memories, instruct people to smile, ask them to fix their hair if it’s unruly, etc.

5. Place your back to the sun when taking outdoor photos. This will create natural lighting on your subjects faces (please see tip 1 the elimination of shadows when photographing outdoors).

6. The best photos are those that are unplanned and not staged. Candid photos are more exciting to look at and are enjoyed more.

Practice and patience are the key elements to taking great photographs. Don’t let your life’s memories pass you by, take photographs of the ones you love.
