Great tips Holly. I take a lot of photos and most are not so hot. Every once in a while I get a good one. Maybe by uising your SUGGESTIONS I will get a few more good ones. Is there hope for me???????????

Not that I’m a fantastic photographer, but I do pretty well with the good ole point and shoot (I stand by my statement that photography is the only form of fine arts that I come close to being good at!) thanks to a fantastic Mom with two degrees in art. It drives me NUTS when I give my camera to some stranger to take a picture while on vacation and I get it back and the composition is awful! Everyone should read these tips, Holly!

Years ago, my parents thought that good photos happened when the sun was behind THEIR back…which left me squinting into the sun!

Steven – I think action shots can be great too. It’s definitely a matter of preference. Sounds like you prefer a more of a photojournalist style vs. straight portrait photography. Nuttin’ wrong with that. When I’m going to take a lot of action shots I tend to shy away from auto settings and go fully manual so I can control the shutter speed.

Thank you SO much for these! Even with a NotSoFancy camera, I will take this list to memory next time I feel the need to go photo-crazy (:

What do you think of “action” shots of people rather than posing? I don’t much like photos of people posing (e.g. standing and looking at the camera and smiling even if it is a genuine smile), I much prefer pictures of people *doing* something. Is this more just personal choice or do you find the former or latter make for better pictures?
