For example, if shooting through an open window, include some of the window frame. Hold your camera steady. Holding the camera steady is essential for taking sharp, clear pictures. Rest your arm or lean against something steady, or use a tripod, if available. Look for good lighting.
Strong sunlight is one example of good lighting.
Cloudy, overcast days can also be good lighting because of the soft light that is produced. Avoid bright sun, which can make people squint. Use your flash, both indoors and outdoors. Using your flash outdoors softens shadows and brightens colors. Use the correct film.
