First photo tip

Ok it's getting to be summer - I see the sun today so that is what I am going with!! In the summer it's so much easier to take pics of your kids - right? Not always. Bright sun is a nightmare for photographs with all of the sun and shade and bright contrasts. So, what do you do? Best thing you can do - with any camera - first, try to find shade where no one is squinting and no little specks of light coming in. If you can get a spot like that - you are in business. What about those little areas where the sun peeks in? Turn on your flash! I know it's outside and the flash won't automatically necessarily come on - but turn it on - it will fill in the spots where the light comes in.

If you can't find shade - do the same - turn on the flash. If your camera can't distinguish between the foreground and background - the people or object will be dark with the background looking great. So... turn that flash on - so the foreground can be seen as well as the background - and you will have better photos.
