How to take Pictures

..Taking a picture is fairly basic. There are, however, a few simple steps to consider:

Step 1: Cradle the Camera in you left hand so that you can operate both the focusing and aperture rings. Grip the right side of the camera with your right hand. You should be able to operate the shutter release button, shutter speed dial and the film advance lever all without removing your eye from the viewfinder.

Step 2: For horizontals, gently press the top of the camera against your forehead. Brace your left elbow against your body and use he camera strap for additional rigidity.

Step 3: For verticals, cradle the left side of the camerain your left hand. The right side of the camera, positioned upward, is pressed gently into your forehead. Sometimes, the strap can be used for additional support.

Step 4: Seek additional support to keep the camera steady if you are using slow shutter speeds. Brace yourself against a wall or large object.
