This will create a beautiful halo effect. ","pubDate":"February 09, 2012"},{"guid":"gxd83oc4","description":"Different light sources have different color “temperatures” so photos taken under different kinds of lights (tungsten, fluorescent, halogen, sodium vapor, etc.) look different. You can use this in your photos to create an interesting lighting effect by setting your camera’s white balance to something besides auto. Experiment while using different light sources to get different results. ","pubDate":"February 08, 2012"},{"guid":"gxd83obt","description":"If you’re photographing a subject in their work environment or home, find a unique object or element to include in the photo. A woodcarver holding his tools, a firefighter with her helmet and coat, a plumber with a wrench. ","pubDate":"February 07, 2012"},{"guid":"gxd83oc7","description":"Colors are important not only in a scenic photo but also in a portrait. Surround your subject with a blue background and the mind automatically thinks “calm.” Red is exciting. Even slightly different hues can put you in a different mindset. Bright green makes us think of vibrancy (like spring), whereas dark green is calming. Put your subject against different color backgrounds to send a different message to the viewer. ","pubDate":"February 06, 2012"},{"guid":"gxd83oc0","description":"Even professional photographers have to practice their timing to capture sports at the beginning of a season, so bring your camera to all of your kid’s soccer games and photograph her regularly. By the end of the season you’ll be capturing better action shots.","pubDate":"February 05, 2012"},{"guid":"gxd83oc1","description":"Change your scale for interesting photos. A lone figure in the open desert makes a statement about the vastness of the location. ","pubDate":"February 04, 2012"},{"guid":"gxd83obi","description":"Look for reflections off water. Elements of water can greatly enhance your landscape photographs. Early mornings tend to have the most tranquil, and thus more reflective, water. Try framing your shot with equal elements of water and sky.","pubDate":"February 03, 2012"},{"guid":"gxd83obm","description":"Use a circular polarizer to emphasize the rich blue color of the sky. Screw the filter onto your lens, and then rotate the front element until you see in the viewfinder the look you like. ","pubDate":"February 02, 2012"},{"guid":"gxd83obj","description":"Safeguard your memory card. To prove ownership, take a photo of yourself or a business card as the first frame. Lock the image from the menu on the back of the camera. This will keep this image there all the time and improve the odds of the memory card getting back to you should you lose it.","pubDate":"February 01, 2012"}]}}/Ajax/Learn-And-Explore/Tip-of-the-Day.page?mo=2.2012/Ajax/Learn-And-Explore/Tip-of-the-Day.page?mo=1.2012/Ajax/Learn-And-Explore/Tip-of-the-Day.page?mo=12.2011/Ajax/Learn-And-Explore/Tip-of-the-Day.page?mo=11.2011/Ajax/Learn-And-Explore/Tip-of-the-Day.page?mo=10.2011/Ajax/Learn-And-Explore/Tip-of-the-Day.page?mo=9.2011/Ajax/Learn-And-Explore/Tip-of-the-Day.page?mo=8.2011/Ajax/Learn-And-Explore/Tip-of-the-Day.page?mo=7.2011/Ajax/Learn-And-Explore/Tip-of-the-Day.page?mo=6.2011/Ajax/Learn-And-Explore/Tip-of-the-Day.page?mo=5.2011/Ajax/Learn-And-Explore/Tip-of-the-Day.page?mo=4.2011/Ajax/Learn-And-Explore/Tip-of-the-Day.page?mo=3.2011
