My favorite tip is when you have a busy background that might be competing with the object/person you want to focus on, adjust the aperture to a smaller number and the background will blur (or fade, depending on the aperture number you select and the amount of light coming in). It creates some lovely shots!

Always be aware of your surroundings, the lighting, the clouds, the locale, everything. Can’t tell you how many times a cloud ruins the halo effect you were looking for. Also, make sure whatever you’re shooting isn’t right next to or in front of something reflective, or you’ll have a nice big white spot in the middle of your photo.

When taking pictures of people or places with people, don’t always tell them to smile at the camera. Sometimes the best picture of someone is the one they didn’t know was taken. For example, when taking a close up picture of a person, don’t let them know, because people always tense up and force a smile when they know its coming.

Don’t try too hard when taking photos of children! It often frustrates them as well as you. Also keep it simple so that the focus is on the subject rather than other distractions.

Do your pictures justice take a picture that complements the the object you are shooting. Its agrivating to see pictures that the photographer has not taken the time to clear any background problems or setting your camera up with the right lighting and angle. *Sometimes the hardest part is just taking a picture that the human eye can see clearly as beautiful but the camera shrinks it or distorts it making it ordinary*. “Thus the reason comliment the object you are shooting”. Take your time and know your camera. Practice, practice, practice.
