PHOTOGRAPHY TIPSPlease post tips to help us with our photography! Whatever tip you have learned along the way, whether it has to do with framing, color, light, shadows, any old thing at all.
Once you share a tip,  it up every now and then so that we remember it, and perhaps try it again.
If we have tons of tips in a week's time, we may be overloaded. So can we make an effort not to overdo - perhaps limit to something like 5 in a week? Seem about the right amount? Feel free to give you opinion if it seems too few or too many. For me, anyway, I need less things to do so I can do what I do well.
I hope we do find these helpful!!

I may have mentioned this before about flash.
When taking a photo outside and you have your camera set at auto, the flash will not go off. If you are taking a photo of someone under a tree, shaded area or covering, your subject will come out a little darker than what you want. Set your camera to flash. For the D40/D60 there is a button on the left side (if you are holding the camera) that you will push in. First, set your dial for "P" (next to auto on the dial). Once you have it set there, then push the flash button to pop up the flash. Take your photo and see the difference.
Sorry, I can't tell where your flash button is on other cameras.

Sweet Roe, do this, will you? Please put your tip in a post by itself? Subject saying Tip: using flash outside, or something like that. Then we can find it right off. Thanks, darlin'!

sorry, marlene..will do..does makes sense.. ..
Mel, I pretty much use auto. I'll sit at my computer and try different settings of the same shot to see what the difference is. I play around like that and try to remember what I did. Funny how I was getting different colors when looking at my tile floor.

Mel, I think while you are learning your camera you should keep your settings on auto, like Roe said. This will get you comfortable with the camera...With it on auto you should be able to take a picture wherever
Can you tell me what settings you had it on when the picture came out unclear? Did you allow it to auto focus?
