Family Photo Tips from Lynne!

Here are a few more tips to help you get the best photos that you’ll be proud of for years to come:

1) Check your background before you shoot. How many times do you end up with a lamp shade or a tree branch sticking out of someone’s head?

2) Take a few steps left or right to eliminate a distracting feature from the background. You may have to move the subjects to get a better background.

3) Blur out your background to put more emphasis on your subjects. This can be done by: using a low number on your aperture setting, using a telephoto lens (or move away from your subjects and then zoom in), or move your subjects farther away from your background).

4) Fill the frame. Move in as close as you can to fill the frame. This will eliminate a lot of the unwanted background.

5) One more thing. If you are shooting indoors and you are using a digital camera and your photos look yellow or green, be sure to check your white balance and change it according to the type of light that you are shooting in.
