Photoshop (et al) can do wonders with photos, even ones you might think didn't come out well.<br /><br />Play with the lighting, contrast and color; you might be surprised how good some of those shots turn out!Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927345716112968689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-562032584293780619.post-56859430217068232012013-01-24T04:54:30.088-08:002013-01-24T04:54:30.088-08:00If I have any control, you'll never see a prof...If I have any control, you'll never see a profile shot of me. Hate my profile. Frankly, I hate candid photos, so I tend not to give up control. LOL! Good tips though. You're definitely right about getting far enough away from the camera. Most point and shoots have a fairly wide angle lens and so the closer you get, the more distorted you can become. You might be looking fatter in the face than you would be had you, as you said, placed it on table instead of holding it at arms length. So, zoom, focus, and expose for that chair you'll be sitting in; set the timer and have fun. Also, I would recommend that you explore your camera's settings. Many cameras these days allow you to control how much flash you're getting. This is important if you seem to be getting washed out. You might still want some fill light but don't want to become overexposed, so try dialing down the flash from full power.Cullan Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16465098080944236025noreply@blogger.com
