Hi All,

The great thing about digital photos is that if a shot is poor or low quality then you have the ability to delete and then take another better shot. This being said it is amazing how many sub-standard shots are taken and printed, when it just takes a little understanding of your digital camera to gain some excellent photos that you would be happy to have as great memorabilia or to share with friends. For instance, one common error is that the novice photographer will often shoot towards bright light and have the subject sitting in front of this bright light and then wonder why exposure issues make it a problem to see facial details.

As a rule of thumb… don't shoot towards bright light.

                        ….if it is really necessary, then make sure you at least shade your lens.

                       ….another tip for shooting under these circumstances is to use your flash to brighten the shadows. 

Photography is a great hobby, and great to share with family and friends, so learn a few hints and create some superb photos!
