  2. Things to shoot for • To get a blurry background: • Wide aperture • The larger the shutter opening for each shot, the smaller the amount of your photo will be in focus. • Choose lower numbers, like f4 – f2, to get the most dramatic effect. • Remember that aperture f-stop numbers work in reverse; the lower numbers represent the larger openings. • Distance to your subject • The closer you are, the shallower the depth of field • The amount of zoom • Zoom in to compress the elements of your photo, so everything behind your subject becomes more dramatic. http://www.picturecorrect.com/tips/how-to-create-a-blurry-background-in-photography/

  4. Things to shoot for • Use natural light: (not the beer!) • Any light source available that does not require the use of a flash or other artificial light source by the photographer • Soft sunlight is best • Morning & dusk • Midday shooting • Find cover for even lighting – trees, shade • Gloomy weather = happy photographer! http://www.howtophotography.org/photography-tips-natural-light/

  6. Things to shoot for • Using flash photography: • Use flash when there doesn’t seem to be enough light • Keep the camera still to avoid blur • Mount or use a tripod • Fill-in flash • Can be used for sunny day portraits for shadows on a subject’s face or to fill any shaded area that is out of the sunlight • Red-eye reducers • Good, but can blur the picture • Bouncing light • Avoid white or light-colored walls or objects behind a subject http://www.picturecorrect.com/tips/flash-photography-tips/
