  <p>Photography sure is different now that $10 can buy you a 16GB 
memory card that can easily hold 2,400 photos. So here are a few photo 
tips you might find useful at library events and with family.</p>


  <h2 id="betrigger-happy">Be trigger-happy</h2>


  <p>There's no obligation to keep all the photos you take, so take lots
 more than you need. Try to take more pictures as things are happening 
and fewer where people are posed. Interact with people as you take 
pictures; try holding your camera at chest-height instead of eye-level 
to make this easier, and get close!</p>


  <h2 id="findthelight">Find the light</h2>


  <p>Low lighting makes for poor pictures. They're grainier, and motion 
easily blurs. Just because you can see fine doesn't mean your camera 
can. So use lots of light; natural light is best. Make sure the light is
 coming from behind you as you take the pictures, not from behind the 
subject of your photo.</p>


  <h2 id="getsteady">Get steady</h2>


  <p>Even when it seems like there's plenty of light, steady your camera
 on something stable when you can. Lean on a wall, or put your elbow on 
the back of a chair. A tripod works very well, of course, but it's 
better to improvise one than discover later that movement knocked a good
 picture out of focus.</p>


  <h2 id="aimforpicturesyoucanuse">Aim for pictures you can use</h2>


  <p>It's great when pictures communicate an experience, show some 
energy, and don't just take attendance. That's what I see in the sample 
pictures at <a 
href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/everyday-occasions?categoryCode=1085180">photo
 printing sites</a>. Before the event, think about the pictures you 
want: excited faces, concentration, hands on tools, etc. Be open to 
surprises, but try to get the photo you think will show the spirit of an
 occasion. </p>
