How to get great shots for Click!

Tribune photo chief Jim Rydbom has judged Click! photos for more than 10 years. Below he shares tips on how to make the most of every shot:

» Be creative, try to give your viewer a different way to look at your subject. Teachers, make it a class project and challenge your students to use their creative minds through photography.

» Try to use a different perspective by getting low and high angles of your subject.

» If you have seen a similar photo to yours, it's more than likely everyone else has, too. I always see a ton of flowers and sunset photos every year. Mix it up and show voters a variety of subject matter in your five entries.

» Most of the overall winners have been pictures of people or those with a very strong sense of Weld County. Weld County is still very rural and has great wildlife and landscapes to shoot.

» Lighting will make your photos sing. The best time to photograph is early in the morning or right before the sun sets.

» Try to use humor if possible in your photos. Laughter is still the best medicine.

» If you can, try not to pose your subjects, a good candid photo will win the hearts of the viewer every time.
