Hi friends... here are some tips on how you can make your simple compact camera deliver better results. Note that all the photographs in this blog are taken by Nikon L16, a 7.1 mp compact camera with no extra- ordinary features.

1)Note that each photograph needs some retouching after you transfer it on your computer. Now here is a simple tip… increase the contrast of the image using adobe photoshop or simply Microsoft office picture manager. You will definitely see great improvement and colours will be more lively


2)Learn how to use macro mode. It is a very powerful feature that is often ignored. Switch on the macro mode and use your optical zoom as much as possible. Now try to focus on a subject. In most of the compact cameras , note that the focus is brought into focus by pressing the click button partially until the braces displayed on the screen is not green.aa

3)Avoid using flash unless the subject in not very poorly lit. Instead keep your camera somewhere ( unless you dont have a tripod) so that it doesn’t move and then capture the shot. It gives unexpectedly amazing results sometimes. Try lighting the subject in different ways.

4)Remember to you basic rules of photography like two-third rule , line convergence etc. importance of composition can never be ignored.
