Spring is a great time to get your camera outside for some outdoor photography. A hike is a relaxing way to try out your photography skills and when you return, you can use Photo to Movie to put together a slide show of your photos.

Here are some brief tips to remember when doing outdoor photography:

• Take your photos in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the harsh mid-day sun.
• Use a tripod for the sharpest photos possible.
• Use your flash to fill-in the shadows on close-in shots.
• Mix close-ups with wide shots, and include a variety of colors.
• Cloudy skies generally make better photos.
• Wind can add action. Rain can add texture.
• Take more photos since small changes might make a good shot into a great shot.
