Tips for better photos....

1. Make sure the film you are using is fresh.  Old film or leaving your camera in the heat or in the glove box of your car will affect the colors.
2. When photographing people get in close. Standing too far back can produce out of focus or blurry shots.
3. The most common cause of bad photos is camera shake. Hold that camera steady!
4. Don't take pictures of people directly into the light unless you are after a silhouette. If you do take pictures of people with the sun in front of you, get in close and turn your flash on.
5. Look into the viewfinder carefully before you press the shutter. Checking the framing and positioning only takes a few seconds and your efforts will be worth it.
6. Watch the backgrounds. Plain and simple are the best for taking pictures of people.
7. Film has a shelf life. Process your film soon after you have finished the roll.
