Goal To learn how to use my digital camera and to take great pictures with it. Close-Ups, landscapes, lighting and shadow.
Tips for Close-Ups Switch to Macro Mode Stop the shake…or use a tripod. Find a solid background or like-colors. Change the lighting and/or your angle.

Tips for Capturing Light & Shadow Time of day. Switch to ISO. Change your angle. Get a good combination of light and dark objects. Too much light washes out the photo.
