Photography
is harder than it looks.
Good
photographers
need practice. Here are
some tips for dealing with common problems.
Problem:
I’m trying to
shoot
a moving subject. The
photographs are blurry and I can’t see the details.
Solution:
Your
exposure
is probably taking too
long. Try a camera with a shorter
shutter speed
.
Problem:
My subject isn’t moving, but my
photographs are blurry.
Solution:
You might need to
focus
your
lens
. Make
small adjustments until the image looks right. If that
doesn’t work, try using a
tripod
. It will help you keep
the
camera
steady.
Problem:
My night-time pictures are too dark.
Solution:
To take a good night-time picture, you
need light. Use a camera with a
flash
.
Problem:
My local camera store closed down.
Where can I turn my
negatives
into photographs?
Solution:
Learn to
develop
your own
film
. This is
more satisfying than taking it to a store, anyway.
