The ISO setting is the one who is controlling the cameras sensitivity to light. So if you are planning to take a photo with a motionless object, you should set the ISO lower. Taking photos with moving objects, you can try and set the ISO higher. The higher the ISO is, the faster the shutters speed is and sometimes it requires less lighting. By doing this, you can achieve better and great photos. Practice makes perfect so, play with it and don’t forget to have fun.
Hold the camera level
Holding the camera level is an essential rule of photography. Majority of digital cameras come with LCD lenses. In this way, you can use the lenses to correctly frame your shots. Taking photos require technique. One way is to find a horizontal line and make use of them as guide line for a perfect shot.
