Thread: Picture taking help please!!!

    Picture taking help please!!!

    Hi everyone. I was wondering if some of you photo people can help me out. I guess this is more directed towards Kay but anyone can chime in!

    I am trying to take photos of Freckles so that her eyes do not light up. Can anyone explain to me how you all do this? If I use the non flash the photos come out blurry, but when the flash is on (even with the red eye flash) her eyes come out lit up. PLEASE HELP!

    Take pictures in direct sunlight or with a lot of lights on.

    Does your camera have an action setting? If so, use that when taking a picture with no flash.
    Also, try to brace yourself in some way so you don't shake around, or even use a tri-pod.

    Yeah, the best place to take pictures is with natural light where you don't need a flash. Red eye reduction might help if you cam has it...seems to help on mine anyway

    Hrmm honestly I don't know if my camera has an action setting on it or not. heh, you would think I would know. I have a Canon Powershot A300. I don't know where my book is either. Do you think I could find information about it online?

    So should I just stay clear of the flash? I don't have a tri-pod. Do you know how much they cost roughly?

    I do have red eye reduction but it doesn't seem to help any. Is there any way I can edit the pictures to make them look better?

       You can download a copy of your manual from the Canon website at
    http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/con...1&modelid=8775

       It is in the Acrobat format. If you don't have Acrobat you can download that for free too.
