No boring photos – the objects should be part of a larger event. - Get close and focus.
Don’t zoom in too much since it could result in blurry, pixilated photos. - Adjust shutter speed and ISO according to the location.
High ISO and shutter speed for locations with a lot of light.
Low ISO and shutter speed for locations with not a lot. - Take multiple photos from different angles and styles.
- Try to avoid using flash, unless necessary. Only when there isn’t enough light, use flash.
- Do not take posed photos.
- Avoid cliché photos.
How to organize your photos:
- Always keep two copies of the photo incase one gets deleted (use your USB effectively).
- Create and label folders to keep yourself organized.
