Warm Up Those Tones
Have you ever noticed that your shots sometimes have a cool, clammy feel to them? If so, you're not alone. The default white balance setting for digital cameras is auto, which is fine for most snapshots, but tends to be a bit on the "cool" side.
When shooting outdoor portraits and sunny landscapes, try changing your white balance setting from auto to cloudy. That's right, cloudy. Why? This adjustment is like putting a mild warming filter on your camera. It increases the reds and yellows resulting in richer, warmer pictures.
Shutter Speed Reminder
A faster shutter speed generally freezes action to help eliminate blurring. The type of shot desired is what dictates the appropriate shutter speed to use. In sports, you will need a faster shutter speed near one thousand to catch the action of your subject moving. When shooting a portrait, you can keep your shutter speed low near two hundred because your subject is usually not moving. With a slower shutter speed, you can experiment with your aperture a little bit more rather than in sports.
