This is the 10 ways to take a great picture.

                You could use some great camera features. Autofocus helps you by making sure that your picture is clear before you take the picture. So Autofocus really helps you. Macro is another cool feature. When you use Macro, you can see up close and this feature is really good for like scanvenger hunts. Digital Zoom is when you can go further than the regular zoom. That was just some cool features. 

The “REAL TIPS” right now are real……..I guess

   Try to put your object slightly off from the center. Like don’t put your object in the middle.    

 Try to take pictures “outdoors” because the sun’s natural sunlight really helps you get enough light in your picture. So be an outdoors person for this tip.

   When you like say to people “say cheese” well it’s kinda BORING. Some people don’t like to smile. So try to say something other than CHESSE. Just try to joke around so you could have some good smiles. Break out their inner smile.

   Learn to  take Vertical Pictures. It just doesn’t have to be horizontal pictures always. Some people are really tall. Vertical pictures can help.

    I almost forgot. You can actually use Flash outdoors. Because the sun is facing down. So there will be like a shadow around your object. That is so cool.

   Be aware of your surroundings or be careful of your surroundings. Like when some people take pictures in the mirror. They sometimes put it on flash. So when they take the picture, there will be like a ball in your picture. So you don’t really need to use flash when you take a picture in the mirror.

      Take  lots of pictures because the more you take , the more you can choose. Some pictures are good and some are not good. Also you can discover some cool features that you didn’t even notice.
