Todays Technique is more of a “Secret Tip” as most people taking a photo tries to put too much into the frame instead of filling the frame with the subject. It is far better to take a few steps closer if you can or use your Optical Zoom to “Tighten Up” on the main subject. You really want to close in on the subjects face. People viewing the photo will get lost in the image and not know what to look at. So if you put more of the subject you want to show or take a photo of into the frame the better you “Tell your Story”.

AMEN to that tip. I can not for the life of me to get my wife to understand this simple tip. Everyone of her group pictures looks like she was standing on the International Space Station to take them.
Don’t be afraid to get close to the subject. Just so long as the tops of heads aren’t chopped off (my sister-in-law), the picture will be better.
