People
There’s no doubt that photographing people is tricky, difficult, sometimes
luck-based, and an absolute art.
What it all really comes down to are two basic rules:
1) EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST LEARNING TOOL, and THEREFORE,
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
1) CREATIVITY IS THE WAY TO GO
People
However, when we don’t have the time to experience, practice and discover our
individual creativity…there are some general guidelines to follow:
1) Lighting is everything - play and toggle with the settings described in the
previous slides
2) Using the flash is recommended. When in doubt, snap two photos! One in
flash and one without (at least until you’re comfortable with knowing your settings)
3) Go for those unique shots:
- People in action always make great shots but be sure to use the TV
setting and adjust the exposure
- Angles are interesting. Try shooting from below or above, or go near
an object and do some macro shots.
- Sometimes candid is the ultimate.

Macro Shots
SETTINGS:• On the Mode Dial >> select your setting • On the Control Dial >> select left side
of function button >>• On the Control Dial >> select until you
see the flower symbol titled “Macro”• You may hold down the same button for
“Super Macro”, which focuses even closer than a normal macro shot
SHOOTING/TIPS:1. Focus closely on an object and try to angle so that
the object is on either the bottom left or right side of
your frame. This gives depth to your photo and adds
a nice touch to the surroundings
2. Try focusing closely on the object nearest to you or
an object in the background. With macro, you are
able to blur shots for a fun technique (see next slide)
Macro
QuickTime™ and a decompressorare needed to see this picture.
Using the Macro or Super Macro option allows you to focus in closely on an object. You can work between blurring the background or the object in focus.
