Common Photo Mistakes
4 Reasons Photos Are Blurry
• Out of focus – try FocusMagic or Refocus
• Motion blur in people – faster shutter, more light or use flash
• Motion blur whole photo – hold steadier, lean against a wall or use
a tripod. Needs more light and faster shutter or use flash
• Depth of field – change aperture to higher f-stop (smaller hole)
Common Photo Mistakes
Exposure – Too Dark or Too Light
• Make sure camera is in correct mode
• Don’t have subjects stand in front of windows or bright
sky
• Change metering from area metering to spot metering
• Try using a flash even in bright areas

Photo Composition
• Photos need a subject and a background
• Lines can help us find the subject better
• Think in thirds not halves
• For landscapes 2/3 sky 1/3 foreground or vice versa
