Most newer cameras have two flash modes. Standard and Red Eye Reduction.
The Red Eye Reduction flash causes the camera to flash multiple times before taking the shot to get the subject's eyes used to the bright light.
Use this whenever taking photographs of people looking directly at the camera in low light.
Many people don't realise they needed to use the red-eye flash until after they look at their photos after the event. So remember to use red eye reduction whenever taking photos in the
following situations :
People looking directly at the camera
Low Light
Using your flash.
It is also possible to remove Red Eye with software programs if you don't have this feature on your camera. There are a few free programs available to do this on the Internet. My Image Editing Secrets course shows a video for how to do this on day 3.
Another option is to use Picasa. This is a free image manipulation program from Google that does a great job of removing red eye. To download for free, click on the image at right.
Next time : Ever had photos that don't capture the mood of the event? This secret solves this problem for the most common situation.
