How to take better pictures - no matter what sort of camera you have

This weekly blogger tip is complements of Shutterfly:   tips about how to take great photos, of various types, no matter what sort of camera you use.

Why?

Why take your own pictures, when there are so many free-photo-search tools out there?

Well, if you want your blog to be copyright-legal, then you need to either find free-use photos, or make your own. Creating your own post-photos is especially useful to prove that your local blog really is local (like this) - and taking pictures that I take myself and host pictures in Picasa / Google+ Photos means that my posts always have a thumbnail image.

How?

Great tips from the pros, here: http://www.shutterfly.com/how-to-take-the-perfect-photo/

The best bit is that this isn't just a glossy, or a snobby "fancy-cameras-only" guide.    There are tips for every combination of  camera type:

• DSLR
• Smartphone
• Point and shoot

and photo type:

• Portraits
• Selfie
• Bokeh
• Macro
• Action shots
• Close up
• Wide angle
• Food
• Candid
• By the water
• Landscape
• Panorama
