Why?
Why take your own pictures, when there are so many free-photo-search tools out there?Well, if you want your blog to be copyright-legal, then you need to either find free-use photos, or make your own. Creating your own post-photos is especially useful to prove that your local blog really is local (like this) - and taking pictures that I take myself and host pictures in Picasa / Google+ Photos means that my posts always have a thumbnail image.
How?
Great tips from the pros, here: http://www.shutterfly.com/how-to-take-the-perfect-photo/The best bit is that this isn't just a glossy, or a snobby "fancy-cameras-only" guide. There are tips for every combination of camera type:
- DSLR
- Smartphone
- Point and shoot
and photo type:
- Portraits
- Selfie
- Bokeh
- Macro
- Action shots
- Close up
- Wide angle
- Food
- Candid
- By the water
- Landscape
- Panorama
