Daylight picture hints

lt's easy to take beautiful daylight
pictures. Just keep these points
in mind:

• In bright sunlight, stand so the

sun is behind you or to the side.

• Move in close. You'll get partie-

ularly good results when your
subject

is about 4 to 5 feet from

the camera. Then important details
fill the picture and backgrounds
are less distracting.

• Don't just wait for a special

occasion.

Photograph

your sub-

jects wh en they least expect il.
Your camera is perfect for this
type of shot-

just aim and shoot.
