Take successive photos of your subject if there is a chance that it might move. Certain subjects, such as

wild animals, won't just wait patiently for you to take your photo. In this case, take one shot quickly so

that you have something to work with. Then, if the subject hasn't moved, take more shots with better

positioning and composition.

When you are shooting a photo of someone, make sure that you are close to them to maximize the quality

of the details on their face. This is very important, as you will want to capture every aspect of their

expression to help to personalize the photos that you take.

Don't be afraid to experiment! With digital cameras, you can now store an incredible amount of photos.

Try it out! Don't be afraid to set up your camera at a stream one day and play around with the effects to

see what kind of photos you get. It can be a great way to learn what works, and what doesn't.

Even if you are taking a landscape photo, make sure your shot has a focal point. Shots without a focal

point can look rather empty and dull. Possible focal points for a nature landscape photo include big trees,

waterfalls, and distant mountains. Another trick is to use something that stands out as your focal point,

such as a patch of different colored flowers.

If you can't use a tripod while taking photos for some reason, you should always brace your upper body

on a solid surface. Hold your breath if you can while taking the shot. This will minimize shake during the

exposure, resulting in clearer pictures. A tripod is always best, however.

A really good pack shot photographer knows a good trick as to pay close attention to angles. Angles can

be very helpful when you're planning a composition. They can point towards certain things you want to

focus on, creating a visual path for the viewer's eye to travel. Make good use of them.

Do not use the flash on a camera unless you are in a darker location. Using a flash outdoors in a location

that already has a lot of light will just make your picture come out too bright. Some cameras have an

automatic flash setting so that your camera knows when the flash is needed.

Using the tips and tricks that you've just read, you can give yourself an excellent head start in building a

creative and diverse photography portfolio. This knowledge will help you as you develop your skills in

portraiture, landscape photography, sports and action shots, and even macro shots that bring you up

close and personal with your subject matter.
