#flash symbol

[taxi-cab-to-art-town]

I’m trying to find a symbol for Eobarry’s love child to wear that would make it clear that he is their kid. These are the ones I have with a background that is the suit colour they will be on. I want to know what folks think is the best one!

Which is best?

Tips For Taking Better Pictures

Getting To Know Your Camera

When you buy a new digital camera, spend a little time acquainting yourself with its features. Choose the 'AUTO' setting, and most of your photos will turn out fine, but learning about the different camera modes will give you much more control, and be invaluable when you start taking photos.

FLASH SYMBOL  -on,  - off,  A - auto

Learn how to use the flash, and whether you need to switch it off, or on. Don't just rely on the automatic flash all the time, as sometimes it can produce better pictures by turning it off or on. For example, when outdoors, it can be good to turn the flash on to light up your subject if it is in the shade, even though the automatic flash would be off, due to the rest of the scene being brightly lit.

RED-EYE REDUCTION 

Red-eye is caused by the light reflecting off the subjects' retina in dim or dark settings. Look for the red-eye reduction setting on yourflash and, if possible, ask your subject not to look directly into the camera lens.

** from experience, the absolute best method of preventing red eye in compact cameras, is to NOT use the zoom, indoors with flash.

MACRO SYMBOL 

this setting is used for taking close up shots, such as flowers and insects and will allow you to get in really close to your subject without it going out of focus.

LANDSCAPE SYMBOL

Choose this setting for landscape pictures, to make sure both foreground and background stay in focus. Also use this setting for taking pictures through glass (eg window) to prevent the camera occassionally locking focus on the glass itself.

PORTRAIT SYMBOL 

This setting is great for close up images and will give a softer effect to the background.

MORE TIPS

Don't take the photo too far away, making your subject too small to be obvious focal point, and don't try to fit too much into one picture.

On the other hand, when printing, due to sie differing shapes of camera images and print sizes, leave a little room around the edges of your picture, to allow for overspill.

Focus your attention on the background as well as the subject...... do you really want that telegraph pole sticking out of someone's head?

When taking a picture, make sure the main subject is dominant, and not lost amongst the background.

Try turning the camera around, would a photo look more interesting if it was taken vertically rather than horizontally, or even at an angle?!

Move the subject around inside the frame, don't always keep them in the middle of the shot.

Your photos can be cropped when printed to produce a more interesting layout or bring more attrntion to your subject.

Always make sure your batteries are charged – digital cameras are much harder on power than previous, non digital cameras and as such, MANY cameras are not suited to alkaline batteries. Battery failure can also cause memory card damage, or loss of images.

Keep a spare memory card in your camera case – theres nothing worse than running out of space when you're on holiday. Nowadays, memory cards are comparatively cheaper than the cost of film, and they are, of course, re-usable!
