People

There’s no doubt that photographing people is tricky, difficult, sometimes

luck-based, and an absolute art.

What it all really comes down to are two basic rules:

1) EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST LEARNING TOOL, and THEREFORE,

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

1) CREATIVITY IS THE WAY TO GO

People

However, when we don’t have the time to experience, practice and discover our

individual creativity…there are some general guidelines to follow:

1) Lighting is everything - play and toggle with the settings described in the

previous slides

2) Using the flash is recommended. When in doubt, snap two photos! One in

flash and one without (at least until you’re comfortable with knowing your settings)

3) Go for those unique shots:

- People in action always make great shots but be sure to use the TV

setting and adjust the exposure

- Angles are interesting. Try shooting from below or above, or go near

an object and do some macro shots.

- Sometimes candid is the ultimate.

Macro Shots

SETTINGS:• On the Mode Dial >> select your setting • On the Control Dial >> select left side

of function button >>• On the Control Dial >> select until you

see the flower symbol titled “Macro”• You may hold down the same button for

“Super Macro”, which focuses even closer than a normal macro shot

SHOOTING/TIPS:1. Focus closely on an object and try to angle so that

the object is on either the bottom left or right side of

your frame. This gives depth to your photo and adds

a nice touch to the surroundings

2. Try focusing closely on the object nearest to you or

an object in the background. With macro, you are

able to blur shots for a fun technique (see next slide)

Macro

QuickTime™ and a decompressorare needed to see this picture.

Using the Macro or Super Macro option allows you to focus in closely on an object. You can work between blurring the background or the object in focus.
