Article: Use a DSLR if you are taking professional photos. If you don't have a DSLR, that's okay! Both digital cameras and smartphone cameras take great photos. The best time to take your pictures is outside during an overcast day. If you are taking photos inside, use natural light sources if you can. Stand near a bright window or in a well-lit room. DSLR cameras have automatic lighting settings. You can adjust the settings for daytime and nighttime shots, for example. To take a great photo, you don’t want the background to compete with the subject matter. Instead of taking your picture with a complex, detailed backdrop, use a simple background that won’t take away the focus from your subject.  For example, shoot with a solid-colored, plain backdrop. If shooting outside, pick a grassy field without many houses or objects visible. The easiest way to take a full-body shot by yourself is using the self-timer feature on your camera. Before you take the picture, go into your camera settings and select the “Timer” option. Set the timer for 5-10 seconds, so you have time to pose yourself in between shots. Then, press the photo button, strike your pose, and capture your picture. Most timer camera settings automatically take 3 shots. When learning photography, experimentation is the best way to find your preferences. Take some shots low to the ground, then try taking some pointing down on your model. Get inspired by your subject and move the camera around to try different angles. This also gives you a diversity of images to choose from. When taking your shots, take 3-10 of each pose. Then, select the one that looks the best after you complete the photoshoot. Taking many shots gives you plenty of options, so it’s okay if you blink or look blurry in a few of them. It can be helpful to review the photos from your computer rather than your camera. Using a bigger screen can show the images in more detail, so you can pick the very best one.

You can search for recipes from these regions to make use of your lime juice, or you could add a splash of lime juice in toward the end of your cooking to flavor otherwise bland dishes like soups or pastas. Cilantro is an especially common herb to use with lime juice. Coconut is another worthwhile flavor to match with lime juice and brings a nice node of sweetness to the sourness of lime. Rice absorbs flavor as it cooks, so adding 1 or 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) of lime juice can give it a tangy, exotic flavor. The citrus in lime also makes rice fluffier, but the effect is not as pronounced as it is when using a stronger citrus like lemon juice. Alternatively, you can also create coconut lime rice by substituting half or all of the water for coconut milk and adding 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) of lime juice. This rice will be heavy rather than fluffy due to the effect of the coconut milk. Key limes are smaller than other lime varieties and have a sharper, more pronounced sourness that creates an interesting contrast in otherwise sweet desserts. Key lime pie is the most common lime baked good, but you can also create cakes, cheesecakes, ice cream, and more using the juice of key limes. While not as commonly used as lemon juice, lime juice can add a refreshing splash of citrus to a variety of drinks. One or two teaspoons of lime juice works especially well in water, but you can also try adding a splash to a lemon-lime drink or other soda. Alternatively, you can use lime juice to create limeade. Lime juice can give an old sauce recipe new dimension. Try adding 1 or 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 milliliters) of lime juice to a standard barbecue or marinara sauce. Stir the lime juice in and warm the sauce so that the flavors can blend. A simple vinaigrette dressing combines olive oil and vinegar in a ratio of 3 to 1. For an exotic twist, you can skip the vinegar and add lime juice in the same proportions. Mix in a little honey to cut the sourness of the lime juice, or add some cilantro, ginger, and salt to enhance the flavor. You can use this dressing over cold cooked pasta, loose leaf salads, and cucumber salads. Authentic guacamole tends to use lime juice, since the flavor of the avocado pulp is enhanced by the tanginess of lime. Other ingredients, like cilantro, salt, and garlic, are added in and blended together to create a slightly chunky dip.
