for anyone to be a good
photographer.

Week, are some simple tips
that can help almost everyone
improve their pictures.

what it can do. That seems
too simple, but it isn’t. At a

how to recognize if flash is
necessary and how to tell
when your film has run aut.

people simply stand too far
from their photo subjects.
The result is the main subject
is lost in the picture, over
shadowed by other, ex
