Ah, summertime! The weather is warm, the sun is shining and you've suddenly got lots of fabulous photo-taking opportunities, from vacations to pool parties to picnics. Grab your sunscreen and your camera--I've got tips and tricks to help your take scrapbook-worthy photos this summer! Tip #1: Zoom in. Sometimes we feel we need to fit the subject's entire body into the frame of the photo. While there are times you want to capture them from the tops of their heads to the tips of their tennies, don't forget to zoom in every now and then! Fill the frame with your subject's face and you'll end up with a beautiful shot full of personality--and avoid having photos of excess background. Want to capture more than just the face? Zoom out, cutting them off right above the waistline.
