HOW TO TAKE

A GREAT PHOTO

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN!

3 5

Decide whether you want to take a

close-up picture, or a photograph from far away, so everything

will appear small.

Make the picture interesting by trying different angles - try

taking the photograph on your tummy or tilting the camera.

Decide where you want the subject in the picture. This is called framing or choosing

the composition.

Keep fingers, camera straps and hair away from the lens.

Decide exactly who or what you want in your picture. This is

called selecting.

Photography is fun, exciting and can be done wherever you are. There are lots of possibilities for you to take incredible photographs - just look around you. We hope these top tips will help you.

PHOTOGRAPHY

9 THINGS TO FIND

IN YOUR GARDEN:

TREASURE HUNT

It’s time to get creative and see if you can photograph each item on the list. Pay attention to the angle you choose for each picture and where you stand when you take it. Remember to keep your camera nice and still so the images don’t blur when you take them.

something green

a shadow

something shiny

a burst of colour

something spiky

a pattern

something high up

an insect

something shaped like a horse!

TOP TIP!

Decide what to include in the

frame. For example: if you

photograph a flower, do you

want to include all of the flower

and your hand touching it, or

get in closer and only see the

colour of the petals?
