Anyone can take a picture by pointing and clicking,You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, but a truly great picture is a lot more than that.  Capturing the essence of what you are photographing takes a keen eye and some natural talent.  What is it that you wish to portray with your photo?  That is the question you should ask yourself when taking a picture.  Whether it is a person, animal,You are not allowed to view links.

The first aspect to a great picture is framing.  What that means is capturing only what you want in the picture.  There are tools you can use to edit pictures and crop out things that you dona�?t want,You are not allowed to view links.

When photographing people, the more natural the better.  You want to get them smiling a real smile versus a posed smile.  You want to capture their emotion.  Candids are great for that, where you just snap pictures during an event while people are being themselves.  Some of the greatest photos come from candid shots.  But if you are having someone pose for a picture, pull some emotion from them by talking to them.  Tell them something funny or ask them to imagine a scene that would make them happy, contemplative, sad, angry, or whatever emotion you wish to see.  The eyes express emotion more than the smile.  Keep talking to them until you see a shift in their eyes that tells the story. 
Once you capture the images that you like and download them to your computer, you might want to consider image hosting.  Of course you will want to share these great photos,You are not allowed to view links.
