#23 Be a Photographer

   I love taking pictures. As most of my friends know, I'm the girl who usually has her camera with her wherever she goes. You don't need a really nice camera to be a photographer. You can take amazing photos with phone or iPod cameras, you just need to start!

1. Start bringing your camera with you everywhere. 

• If your going to a friends house, hanging out in town, or going to a family reunion, bring your camera!

       2. Move in close

• Take a few steps closer, or zoom in until the subject fills the view finder. It will eliminate those background distractions and show off it's real beauty. 
• It will give you that impactful photo you are looking for.

3. Move it away from the middle

• Bring your picture to life by placing your subject off-center.
• Imagine a tic-tac-toe grid in your viewfinder. Now place it in one of those imaginary boxes. 

                                            
    

 4. Become a Photo Director

• Take an extra min rearrange your 'subjects' or try a different view point. 
• Bring your 'subjects' together and watch your pictures dramatically improve.

 5. Be Patient 

• Trust me, you will not become a professional overnight. I have been taking pictures for years and they still don't turn out the way I want.
• Practice makes perfect! So lets just keep working, and someday we will be photographer! 
• If you follow some of these tips, you will have awesome pics in no time!
