Photo Tips

Experiment with different perspectives to make more interesting shots– for instance, instead of taking all your pics from your everyday height, get down low (crouch, etc) or up high (use a platform, etc). Remember to always be safe and aware of footing, stability, and your surroundings (especially vehicles).

Experiment with depth of field– for instance, focus in on one subject while intentionally putting background objects out of focus. By reducing the number of in-focus objects, you can often get more interesting shots.

Vote!

Final winner receives a trip for (2) to any** Jeep Jamboree USA event in 2007.
