This week I have turned to the Pro for advice on good photography. Here are top ten tips from Kodak on taking Great pictures (you can find more on their website www.kodak.com) What I am looking for this week take as few or as many pieces of advice and show me from 1-10 photos illustrating these principles as best they can (remember we want YOUR photos, not the really cracking ones you have found on the net however beautiful they are)
These are the tips we are going to illustrate:
1. get down on their level
2. use a plain background
3. use flash outdoors
4. move in close (hey we've done it last week, but you may want to give us a link to it, or take another one )
5. Take some vertical pictures
6. Lock the focus
7. move it from the middle
8. know your flashes range
9. watch the light
10. be the picture director

Are you ready for it, in two weeks time I would like to see an entry for each of you with the links to your photos illustrating all or some of the above principles. Make a post as a reply to this thread and then edit/add the links as you add them over the fortnight.
Really looking forward to seeing what you come up with. See ya! Have fun!

No 1. Get down on the same level as your subject
No 2. Use the simple background
No 2 and No 4. crop and simplify bg.
No 3 and 8. Use flash outside and know the range of it, which can be admittedly at times not so easy, or is it just me?

I took this photo outdoors with a flash and it is vertical. I don`t know what these flowers are but thought they were unusal and I liked the colour. http://www.scrapbook-bytes.com/galle...0&ppuser=10892
