How to improve your photography #3

Have you ever noticed that when you look at a portrait (whether it be a photo or a painting) the first thing you look at is usually the eyes? This is the most important part of the picture, so when you photograph someone, try to make sure you get the eyes nicely in focus. This can be quite tricky, especially if you're using a wide aperture (as the depth of field will be small) or the subject is moving, so hold down the shutter button and take lots of pictures. Some won't be in focus but some will. In digital photography, you can just delete the ones that didn't work :-)
