To take close up photos of your teeth:
- You have to switch to macro mode (flower icon on your camera)
- If the photo still turns out blur, adjust the distance of the camera from your teeth as there is a minimum distance - You may be too close / too far.
- If the photos turn out too bright / glaring, your flash is probably too strong. Move further or turn off your flash.
- Remember to half-press the trigger button to focus (camera may beep at this point) and then press the button fully to take the photo.
To edit the photos:
My blog photos are taken and cropped to only show the mouth area. There are lots of free photo editing software out there. I am using Photoshop to do the cropping. You can download Picasa to crop the photos. I believe Microsoft Paint can do the same if you are using Windows OS.
Hope this info helps if you are keeping your own braces photo journal! It's fun! =D
