Tip # 46: One Is Never Enough

Have you ever noticed how when you take a photo of your friend, it sometimes ends up looking painful? Instead of smiling, she’s grimacing or she blinked at the wrong time.

The best thing to do is take tons of photos (cheap to do thanks to digital cameras), and you’ll be guaranteed some great shots. It will also help with those first pictures where we tend to look uncomfortable and nervous. The other advantage of doing this is you’ll capture some priceless expressions.
If you can, use a tripod and a cable release (mostly used with SLR cameras), then your friend won’t know exactly when you’re taking the photo, and it enables you to interact with her face-to-face instead of camera-to-face.

So remember, one is never enough.
