Mavica Digital Camera Tips: Get the right angle
Photo #1: Start with your neighbour Your stuck in a crowd, want to capture the excitement of the parade, why not start with your neighbour? This will quickly give a context and reference for the finer details in the picture. Tilting the camera not only adds effect, but also includes more of the relevant feature (more of the kid in this case).	Photo #2: Look up Here he looks ten feet tall, yet often when we take pictures of kids we are looking down on them. As a rule of thumb, I imagine the horizon and then try to put the head and shoulders above that line. . .

It's a good place for the eye to enter the picture and start its journey deciphering the details. Photo #4: Use the parallax to your advantage The wide end of your zoom will distort objects and straight lines. Be creative and use this to your advantage. Here, for example, I took a picture of the Vancouver Library roof by squeezing as much into the picture by tilting the camera and using the widest zoom.
