This looks cool. My tip?
Don't be too afraid of rainy days. The gray-blueish haze before the storm or the petulant brightness of the sun after rainfall can lead to some excellent perspectives.

When taking pictures of pets, and if your point-and-shoot has the option, use the multi-photo setting that takes 3 or 4 shots per "click". Ultimately, dogs blink or move or stick their tongue out, but this way you have a better chance of ending up with a decent photo.
view leanneabe's profile
My favorite tip came from a blog, long forgotten: when taking a timed group shot, have everyone race from the camera to their positions (space willing, of course!), instead of just the person who sets the timer. It brightens everyone up, and gives off that enthusiastic glow you always feel at parties, but rarely see in the static, posed group shot.

This Canon Selphy CP770 Compact Printer is fantastic! I think the specs on it are pefect for home use. I would use it everyday! My photography tip is don't be afraid to get down low to the ground to shoot your image. Sometimes the low perspective is just the right angle even if your subject matter is 20 stories high! I have gotten myself into some yoga type positions in order to get that perfect shot, experiment, be creative, and let your imagination take control!

A good tip is to make a home made portable tripod. It's quick, easy, and could be free! Just find a small bolt that screws into the bottom of your camera (where you would screw it into a tripod.) Attach a length of string (a type that does NOT stretch) about the length of your own height. On the opposite end, tie a large washer. Once it is screwed into the bottom of the camera, stand on the washer pulling the string tight. This makes for a much more stable camera, and is super portable.

Pick of a toy camera, holga or something, shoot some medium format. Just get out of the norm. Then have a place scan it in for you, or scan it yourself, and print those babies out.
