The impossible we can do miracles take a little longer!

So this isnt so much a moan (but it can be !!) but more advice . As you may well have gathered here at www.mybiggerpicture.com we produce all manner of photo gifts from photo mugs


 to pillowcases
and time and time again we are faced with the same problem . Poor quality pictures!
So Imagine the scenario, you have taken that killer cute shot you know it would look good on a photo cushion   so you get on your computer buy the cushion from us here at www.mybiggerpicture.com  then for some odd reason you decide to shrink the picture down to send us the image and then expect it to look as good as when you took the picture .

So you are hoping for this 
you send us this
which results in this 
Its a common error some email servers will not allow large files we at mybiggerpicture have a file upload system with a back up of a share file system to combat this so theres no need to shrink your images down before sending them to us . so theres no need to shrink the file size of your image . sometimes you may want to send us a shot thats slightly blurrey often this can be because its the only picture you have of that subject but please remember you can not un blur a picture 
we have put together some helpful tips to make sure you get the best out of your photo gifts  i hope these will help get the best out of your gift experience from us here .


The Two Thirds Rule:Put the horizon in your picture on the line of the top or bottom third of the picture so the foreground or the sky will take up two thirds of the shot.  This will give the best possible picture!

Using your flash:Experiment with using your flash. Don't be afraid to use the flash even outdoors.  This can avoid dark shadows and brightens up faces on those cloudy days. However, pointing the flash straight at your subject can also give your photos a flat quality because the flash minimises shadows. Experiment by pointing the flash away from the subject to bounce off a wall or ceiling. There are also times when you could forget about using your automatic flash and instead use available or natural light, even in low-light situations for a moody effect.

Reducing Red Eye:If you find your flash photos are often afflicted with "red-eye", you might find minimising it is as simple as using a red-eye-reduction setting on your camera.

Pet Pics:When taking snaps of your pets, try and get down to their eye level to get the best pics of your fluffy friends!

Unposed:Mybiggerpicture is all about  treasuring those memories and sometimes the unposed shots are best at capturing the true smiles. Don’t get your subject to say cheese, try to say something funny to make them laugh naturally. Keep your camera with you at all times, you never know when you might need it!

Reducing the Blur:Holding your camera steady whilst taking a picture will reduce the chance of blur. Tuck your elbows in and hold your camera firmly close to your face. Take a deep breath and squeeze the shutter very gently.

Borders:If you are using a close up, please remember we need at least ½cm on each edge on our sewn products for a border.

And remember the better quality picture you send us the better the result!
