Hi Joy!
Hmmm this is a super debated subject,
HOW TO TAKE A PROPER DIGITAL PICTURE.
I am not a professional, but I have had many digital cameras and currently have a SONY Silver Cyber-shot® Digital Camera(see attachment)
- 5.1 Megapixel (2592 x 1944 Pixels)
- 3X optical zoom lens
- 2.5" LCD monitor1
- Compact SLR design
- Captures 640 x 480 video at up to 30 fps
My Tips on Taking proper pictures:
Get closer
Try to get within 2-4 feet of your subject. You want to have 90 percent person and 10 percent background in your picture. Get close even when it's uncomfortable. This is where you get the best photographs.
Find the right lightingTry not to use a flash as it gives faces a harsh and unnatural look. I beleive to get a more flattering tone and higher quality, use
natural light. Have your subject sit sideways next to a window or door reflecting the bright midday sun…indirect light makes soft and beautiful pictures. It also makes one side of your subject's face light and the other shadowed, which creates strong emotion and mood.

Do you use a flash, take the pic in natural lighting, take the pic yourself, have someone else photograph your FOTD? Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated!
