as an Artist... playing this game i want to make unique looking shots but in order to get the highest grading... you want everything to be perfectly centered and as big as possible. Which my wife made a good point when i was complaining about the Professor not appreciating good art... she said "these photos are for research... not art" haha

[@ashroberts1549]

the good thing is you can resnap afterwards to get more artistic shots for your personal viewing!

[@redherring87]

Photography: dont put things directly in the center of your shot Pokemon snap: i said we center today

[@DeathScorpian]

Lol I had the sound of Oak saying "You were close." To a lot of the pics they liked that I knew the game wouldn't.

[@TheLoreSeeker]

I like to think of it as the difference between artistic photography and specimen photography. The professor wants nice symmetrical centered front facing photos because he's researching them. The artistic stuff can come in reSnap. XD

[@KingJH0510]

@@TheLoreSeeker a lot front facing photos dont actually give a lot of info for example you would want a side photo of fish rather than front facing

[@RioluX195]

I know the meme of the center shot thing with Pokemon Snap but I've started playing today and got some Diamond level shots of some Pokemon even though they weren't centered. I think it was cause I got it lined up with some awesome backgrounds that boosted the points amazingly. With the old Pokemon Snap it had little to work with so of course centered shots were the best shots, but here I think they updated it very nicely so that even uncentered shots can be high score shots if you get other awesome things in the shot. That also said I took three shots of that Sylveon and all three of them said it was of the Torterra even though it was way in the background and not even close to center XD

[@BBitIT]

@@KingJH0510 actually I have noticed I get a high scores in direct from side photos of the fish pokemon. So it does depend on the Pokemon.
