How To Take Photos - The Camera Will Lie!

When you take photos remember that the scene you see with your eyes will not be the scene the camera captures!  The camera will lie to you!

Your eye can distinguish between many different colours and shades and also between the different contrasts that make up a scene, all the different light and dark areas - that sort of thing!

However a camera's sensor is not has good at picking out all the different contrasts, so will give you it's interpretation of the scene in your photo!

As an example of how a camera can lie to you, here is a photo of the Queen I took.  From one angle the Queen is frowning, but the same note from a different angle the Queen is smiling!

Enjoy!
