When you are taking landscape photos, consider the sky. If the sky is rather bland and boring, do not let it dominate the photo. If the sky is lit up with wonderful colors (especially during sunrise, sunset or a storm) it is okay to let the sky dominate the photo.
Never tell your subject to "smile for the camera." You will almost always regret the result if you yank a person out of a relaxed atmosphere and place them on display. Pressure to perform is rarely what will transfer well in a photographic portrait. Instead to telling them to smile, give them something to smile about naturally. Say something funny, or even better, get them to tell you something about their life that is obviously something they cherish.
With the ease of cameras today, it is very easy for a novice person to take some great pictures without a lot of knowledge. Having a high quality camera is the first step. Make sure that the camera, lens and equipment are all from a reputable company who makes quality photographic equipment.
Be creative and unique with your subjects. You don't want to take the same old photo every other photographer has done. Look for unique shots that people haven't seen before. Choose interesting subjects that aren't going to bore anyone who sees them. If you want to make a name for yourself, this is essential.
Learn about composition rules. Practice and experiment with these rules to create unique pictures. For instance, organizing a picture around diagonal lines gives an impression of depth. You can also play with colors and gradual nuances to give an impression of movement to a picture. Do not follow the rules blindly, but learn when to use them.
When you are making the decision of which of your photographs to display or show make sure that you choose your best ones. Do not show every photograph you have ever taken or too many of the same subject matter. It can get very boring for others to see the same thing over and over again. Keep it fresh and show different aspects of your photography.
Understand and anticipate the impact that wind will have on the photos that you take. For example, if you are planning on shooting flowers, avoid days where the wind is very active. When flowers and plants are stable, you will have the best chance to get the highest quality and resolution in your picture. In situations where you don't have a choice, such as weddings, have a contingency plan. Are there sheltered areas where the wind will have less impact?
Try to experiment with colors, angles and the different features of your camera. You do not need an original object to take a high-quality picture. A good photograph should be able to make a picture of an unoriginal object look interesting, thanks to their skills and artistic talent. Experiment to find your style.
When taking a picture, try to take one at a medium distance and then take one closer. You may decide later on that a picture would have looked better had you taken it a little closer. Also, try to make sure your subject is toward the center of the picture.
