Ten Photography Tips for Scrapbookers

Memories tell tales of nostalgia. To capture the essence of the moment you not only take pictures today, but you also pick the pictures of yesterday. Here are some tips for finding and/or taking photographs that Martha Stewart is sure to adore.



1. Take photographs where a set of items match in color.

2. Take photographs of something you've carefully purchased.



3. If a photography does not give necessary details about time and/or place, write a caption and/or title that states the missing info. (The above photo was taken in Miami's South Beach, quite a change from what the people look like there today.)




4. Take photographs where one color predominates over others.

5. Put frames around your photographs using an image processing program.



6. Pick old photographs so viewers can identify the time period in which they were taken.

7. Pick photographs that reveal ideas of the person who's pictured.



8. Find shots where there are unique areas of subtle light.

9. Find peaceful shots.

10. Find shots that will make a nice background for typing in text.
