An excellent photo will function like a little window, showing a moment in time for your subject. Don’t try to cram too much into a single photo. Instead of trying to put everything into one picture, take a whole series of photos to really capture everything about a subject. Try out all the different Shutter speeds and experiment in various scenarios so you have an idea what works best. By varying shutter speeds, you can capture stills as well as fast moving objects. Using a fast shutter speed can help you catch moving objects, while the slower speed can help you get those natural scenes. When trying to take a good photograph, keep your technique simple.

Consider photographing the store that sold you the item, or just take a photo of the item against a unique background. These pictures can be placed in an album to create the story of your trip, with memories to treasure in future years. Try to make your model feel comfortable, particularly if you just met them.

While most cameras let you zoom in very close, once the zoom is switched to digital from optical, it makes the quality of the image worse.

Read through your camera’s instruction manual to determine whether or not you can disable digital zoom.
