I recently inherited a an older Nikon film camera and am working on how to take better macro shots. I am always on the look out of information online and in print on how to take better pictures.
I find my biggest problem is not having the steadiest of hands, and as such it usually takes me 3 or 4 pictures till I get one that looks halfway decent. I enjoyed this little blog post, learned a few things to keep in mind next time I go shooting.
Seth, 3-4 shots to get the ‘right’ photo is the standard ratio so don’t knock yourself. Try opening your aperture up, increase your speed, though this reduce your depth-of-field. You might also want to try a tripod.
It’s never a good feeling to miss a photo opportunity because you were fiddling with your camera’s settings, trying to get that perfect shot. Even more frustrating are those times when you need to adjust the camera for a specific situation, and you’re not sure what to do. The ten suggestions listed there will help the beginners grab better photos, even if you don’t have time to take a photography course or memorize a user manual.
