5 Tips for Taking Better Photographs

Most of us don't want to turn professional, we simply want reliably good photographs. We don't have time for in-depth study of apertures, film speeds or darkroom development. Maybe we only take shots of special occasions.

We often get our first camera as a child and happily snap away, thinking the results will match up to what we saw. Instead we took blurred random shots, stuck fingers over the lens and often gave up in disgust.

Well the time has come to brush the dust off your camera, take on board a few general tips and hopefully see some great results!

Tip one: Light
The light falling on a subject is what we usually recognise first when taking a photograph. We know there are rules, but what are they?

• Details get lost when the light is too bright - and that includes using a flash too close to your subject.
• The 'slow' or 'synchro' flash function available on many cameras balances the amount of light given out - handy when too much flash will white-out the subject.
• When taking photographs of people, make sure your subjects are comfortable with the light shining on them and not screwing up their eyes.
• A bright light behind your subject will put them in shadow. Some of this will be counteracted by flash, but you could still end up with a poor result.
• Lighting from the side creates interesting shadows and shapes, but be aware of how much shadow is being cast. If shooting outside, early mornings or evenings are the best for side-lighting, when natural light is softest.
• Many cameras have an anti-red eye function, but you can help eliminate it by increasing the light falling on the person (anti-red eye features work by giving out a quick pre-flash).
• Professional photographers use light reflectors to bounce light onto their subject instead of relying on direct flash. Get the same effect by shooting near white walls or other reflective surfaces.

Tip two: Colour
All colours have an opposite (have you ever seen a colour negative?). Knowing a little about colour allows you to create contrast and drama in your photos.

• Red is opposite green on the colour wheel, so a single red flower in a green field will have dramatic impact.
• Standing a person in blue clothes against a blue wall will not work to best effect. This is where it helps to know that the same outfit against a wall of any shade of orange will 'pop'.

Colours don't need to be stand-out dynamic, but noticing the colours of surroundings, not just your subject, can help you to improve your final results.

Tip three: Composition
Composition remains a neglected area for most people. If you think it is an inborn skill or that it requires a degree in art, think again.

The main rule to be aware of is the 'rule of thirds'. Break your picture into three areas horizontally and three vertically, like dividing a square cake into nine equal pieces.

Allowing any horizons (the skyline, a wall, rooftops) to sit along one of your two horizontal lines creates a more pleasing image than letting it run across the centre of the shot. The same is true for vertical lines. Equally, it may seem logical to place your subject slap in the centre of your picture but this can make for a dull image. More pleasing to the eye is to set the subject off-centre, against or over one of your imaginary dividing lines.

Tip four: Focus
So, you point the camera at your subject, allow the camera to do the focusing and press the shutter button, right? Maybe. Auto focus is a brilliant tool that takes the guess work out focusing but it will also fix on the closest object. If you are deliberately shooting with something coming between you and your subject, the results won't be what you expected.

Many digital cameras with auto focus will allow you to check the camera's focal point. Obviously it's impossible to give you instructions compatible with every camera, so this is one tip that will need you to have some basic knowledge of your camera or be able to check the instruction booklet.

Don't worry about going beyond the basic functions on your camera. If you are already familiar with your camera's basic operation, now would be a good time to take another look at the operating manual. Those lengthy instructions can seem horribly daunting when you first take the camera out of its box, but once you're comfortable with its basic operation, learning more is not only manageable but logical.

Tip five: Revision
Owning a digital camera means you can revise your own photos. This can be done instantly - shoot, check, delete, adjust, re-shoot - or later on, by twiddling on your computer. You don't need to be a whiz on PhotoShop, just check out the simple software that came with your camera for how to edit your images. This might mean resizing so that your image prints the right size for a photo frame, or changing the digital size to a lower resolution. Some software allows you to remove red-eye, change colours or apply funny effects.

When taking pictures in film, a good development lab can help you with resizing, cropping and correcting minor flaws. Remember, however, that some problems cannot be fixed at the development stage; out of focus shots cannot be corrected, and some overly dark or light shots cannot be improved to perfection.

Darkroom (Paperback) $37.48 Enduring Motives examines tradition and religious beliefs as they are expressed in landscape, the built environment, visual symbols, stories, and ritual. Bringing together archaeologists and Native American experts, this volume focuses on long-lived religious traditions of the native peoples of the Americas and how religion codifies, justifies, and reinforces these traditions by placing a high value on continuity of beliefs and practice. Using clues from the archaeological record to piece together the oldest religions of the Americas, Enduring Motives is organized into four parts. Part 1 creates continuity through structure, iconography, and sacred stories that correspond to culture-specific symbolic representations of the universe. Part 2 explores the encoding of tradition in place and object, or how people use objects to enliven tradition and pass it on to future generations. Part 3 examines stability and change and shows how traditions can evolve over time without losing their core cultural significance. The final part recognizes deep-time traditions through the evidence of ancient cosmology and religious tradition. Spanning cultures as diverse as the Aztec, Plains Indians, Hopi, Mississippian, and Southwest Pueblo, Enduring Motives brings to light new insights on ancient religious beliefs, practices, methods, and techniques, which allow otherwise intangible facets of culture to be productively explored.

Darkroom $19.95 Darkroom: A Memoir in Black and White is an arresting and moving personal story about childhood, race, and identity in the American South, rendered in stunning illustrations by the author, Lila Quintero Weaver.   In 1961, when Lila was five, she and her family emigrated from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Marion, Alabama, in the heart of Alabama’s Black Belt. As educated, middle-class Latino immigrants in a region that was defined by segregation, the Quinteros occupied a privileged vantage from which to view the racially charged culture they inhabited. Weaver and her family were firsthand witnesses to key moments in the civil rights movement.  But Darkroom is her personal story as well: chronicling what it was like being a Latina girl in the Jim Crow South, struggling to understand both a foreign country and the horrors of our nation’s race relations. Weaver, who was neither black nor white, observed very early on the inequalities in the American culture, with its blonde and blue-eyed feminine ideal. Throughout her life, Lila has struggled to find her place in this society and fought against the discrimination around her.
