Photo Tips
for digital and other forms of photography

Stance

• Move around to find the best picture. You don't have to stand to take a picture. You can kneel or lie down. Lying down is especially good for photographing things near the ground, such as plants or insects. Or try climbing to a higher position.
• If you stand, slightly spread your feet in a stance that's comfortable.
• Lean against a solid object or rest your elbows on one. Hold your breath at the instant of exposure. Watch for when the movement is least.
• You can also hold your camera on a wall or fence for extra steadiness.
• Test your camera to see how close you can be and still take sharp pictures (see Better Close-ups).
