Keep your camera close to you

It is therefore important to have a camera with you so you don’t miss an opportunity to capture the best candid moments around you. 

 

Take a couple of shots

You might not get the best picture on the first click. Sometimes just waiting a couple of minutes can lead to a better picture than the first one which you clicked. By capturing a few photos together, you can even get two different shots of the same subject. Later, you can review all the photographs at once and select the best one. 

 

Take photos when the subject is moving

You can take unique shots when the subject is in motion. In this, it’s recommended to use a fast shutter speed, and a long lens to capture candid shots from a distance. When the subject is in movement naturally, the expressions in the photo are quite lively. Using a slower shutter can help in clicking more interesting photos with movement. 

Don’t forget framing & lighting

The lighting in the photograph can make or break a picture. It plays a crucial role in giving clarity to a picture. You should avoid taking a picture with bad lighting. If there is too much or too little light in the area, it can ruin the image, so it is important to always check the lighting before capturing any shot. It is important to frame the photo well, avoiding anything that can be a distraction from the main subject. Move around a bit, till you get a clear shot.
