Step by step to shooting, sprucing up and sharing great photos Get That Group Shot <ul> <li> Find the best location and try props or natural elements such as trees to arrange people. </li> <li> Try a variety of poses. Have some sit and others stand. Stagger people in front and behind. </li> <li> Having people get close, tilting their heads toward each other, and even touching one another often makes the shot more intimate and engaging. </li> <li> For really large groups, moving higher and shooting down on them enables more people to squeeze into the frame. </li> <li> When a group is engaged in an activity, bring elements of it into the shot to add context. </li> <li> Use humor to get people to smile naturally. It's the next best thing to spontaneity. </li> </ul> Get ready to: <ul> <li> Choose the right camera </li> <li> Light your subject </li> <li> Capture portraits and landscapes </li> <li> Download and organize your images </li> <li> Fix skin tones and color casts </li> <li> Create an online photo gallery </li> </ul>
