Q - What is fill flash and when should I use it?
A - Most point and shoot cameras have a fill flash feature that can be useful for filling in shadows on your subject under certain situations. For example, when the light source is behind your subject or when another object like a hat, casts a shadow on your subject's face, consider using fill flash to lighten these shadows and capture the detail.
Q - What is the best way to go about composing a shot?
A - For more interesting and dynamic photos, use the "rule of thirds" to frame your snapshots. To take advantage of this composition technique, place the main subject of your shot slightly to the right or left of the center in your viewfinder before snapping your shot. Composing shots in this manner captures a sense of movement in your photographs.
Q - What distance should I keep between my point and shoot camera and the subject when shooting with a flash?
A - The flash on most point and shoot cameras works best when the flash is six to twelve feet away from the subject. Shooting too close can lead to over exposure and shooting too far away can cause your shot to be under exposed. To get the best results, consult your camera's instruction booklet.
Q - How can I take better group shots?
A - A common mistake made by many new photographers is to take group shots of people who are fifteen or more feet away. You'll get better photos by closing in on your subjects with a tighter shot.
