For about a year now we have been posting photo tips on our Facebook page<\/a> to help you take better pictures.<\/p>\n

People keep asking “Where can we see all the tips?!<\/em>”
\nWhy PrimePhotoTips.com<\/strong><\/em><\/a> of course!
\nHere’s a sample of tips:<\/p>\n

Photo Tip #1<\/strong>
\nTurn the camera on.<\/p>\n

Photo Tip #32<\/strong>
\nTake one photo at a time. 11 frames a second creates huge editing workloads and, with a little practice, clicking once will get you your shot.<\/b><\/p>\n

Photo Tip #32 – One photo at a time…<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Photo Tip #34
\n<\/strong>(Thanks to\u00a0Quinton Gordon<\/a>) Edit your photos before you take them.<\/p>\n

Photo Tip #49<\/strong>
\nCut a rectangle out of a piece of paper or cardboard and start looking at the world as if you were looking through a camera. It\u2019s amazing how different things look through a rectangle \u2013 and it\u2019ll help you engage your photo brain.<\/p>\n

Photo Tip # 64<\/strong>
\nWhen photographing in a new city \u2013 travel light and by bike \u2013 you\u2019ll see way more!<\/p>\n

Photo Tip # 71 – Stay warm while winter shooting in the winter!<\/p><\/div>\n

Photo Tip #71<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>When shooting in the cold have two clothing systems:
\n\u2022 When moving where enough clothes to be warm but DO NOT SWEAT! (it\u2019ll make you very cold later.)
\n\u2022 Once you\u2019ve stopped for some shooting add lots of warm \u2013 extra hat (sheepskin = ahhhh!) and a big poofy jacket or two.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Photo Tip #92
\nTry something photographically that scares you \u2013 just a bit.<\/p>\n

Photo Tip #107<\/strong>
\nAlways keep balloons in the photo studio for the kids \u2013 instant smiles when you pull them out.<\/p>\n

Photo Tip #115<\/strong>
\nBig aperture (like f4) for moody portraits.
\nSmall aperture (like f16) for landscapes.<\/p>\n

Photo Tip #128<\/strong>
\nShoot with a wide angle lens from the hip for an unusual portrait experience. It takes some practice\u2026<\/p>\n

Photo Tip # 128 – Shoot from the hip with a wide angle lens for fun portraits.<\/p><\/div>\n

Photo Tip #142
\n<\/strong>Shoot in RAW.
\nStore as TIFFs.
\nSend as JPEG.
\n…JPEG files will lose data when you save any changes.<\/p>\n

Photo Tip #177<\/strong>
\nBe playful & allow mistakes to let the fun out of your camera!<\/p>\n

Photo Tip # 177 – Be playful!<\/p><\/div>\n

Photo Tip #195<\/strong>
\nThat little flash built into the camera?
\nLeave it off.\u00a0It\u2019s anemic (underpowered), causes red-eye and pushes out a harsh burst of nasty light.
\n… Sorry, little flash but it\u2019s true!<\/p>\n

Photo Tip #200<\/strong>
\nStop reading photo tips and go take some photos!!!<\/p>\n
