Here 10 small and humble advice that I can help you to take good pictures. They are grown, or whether they are a remix from advice I was given to me and things I have learned to far wrong, retry, err, retry ... The tips are for people with digital camera, I say this because I imagine there will be some nostalgic still use analog camera.
1. Be inspired by the works of others: I'm not saying you try to do the same exact picture but another photographer will always take good ideas from others who already have had to form your photographic imagination. In deviant art find lots of inspiration.
2. When in doubt, shoot: Believe me, I'll never forgive not having done the photo of that child by jumping in front of the setting sun with the waves in the background because he was not sure if it was worth or have been fiddling with the settings photometric the camera. There are situations that will not repeat and do not cost anything to the photo and then if you delete a trash. If you're not sure the photo is because she has to play the speed or aperture (or whatever) but you see I do not have time, make the photo also and then we try to improve the computer, better this we do not do it.
3. Do not skimp on quality: And I mean the compression quality to the resolution (megapixels). It is clear that such a photograph has more megapixels the better. So far we all agree, but a picture of 7 MP, but in. Jpg compressed to 50% do not have as many MP who has, at the minimum you want to do an extension or a poster for your room or anything that requires a minimum notice the quality of compression artifacts. It's like the music on the radio or CD, to the naked eye the difference is not noticeable but when you look, these are abysmal. I almost always use uncompressed RAW format, which apart from giving you the highest quality (data are not compressed), lets you edit settings like white balance, exposure, etc. without the slightest loss of quality.
4. Do not skimp on quantity (if you can, of course): If you're not sure what frame looks best, or from what perspective to photograph this building, do not risk and make all possible photos then when you see on your computer and choose the good. Better spend a few more Mb (or Gb) card then realize that you fucked up choosing the wrong frame.
5. Burn better than Dodge: In digital photography is much easier to recover or improve (later on the computer) underexposed photographs (which have remained obscure) that overexposed (which have been too bright). This is not to say that miracles can be made (and a lot of noise that appears when you try to retrieve a digital photo underexposed, but when a pixel gets the color # ffffff (white), there is no god who can fix ( almost).
6. Use the shooting: If you try shooting a fast moving object, you will do very well shooting (several pictures in a row). Not all cameras have this ability but if yours has it do not miss, many people think that the important thing is the Megapixel camera but also details like this are really important depending on who you want to use the camera.
7. The camera is not always right: The light meter (light meter) of the camera can be wrong depending on many factors and the metering mode (center weighted, matrix, etc). If you find the photo you've done has been too dark or too light, you can correct the measurement of the camera manually raising or lowering the EV (Exposure Value) and repeat photography.
8. Know the rules: There are some rules that some photographers considered essential, like the famous (and tiresome) Rule of thirds - that is to put the subject in one of the intersections of the lines dividing the frame into 3 thirds and 3 thirds vertical horizontal -. Following these rules, you ensure a good compassion.
9. Break the rules: As everyone knows, the rules are for breaking. That does not mean there are rules you have to follow but it is good to know that there so you know that you're breaking. Not because a photograph does not follow the rules is bad, far from it. Any composition that you enter through the view is viable. Just look at my pictures to see that many have broken the rule of thirds by dividing the picture into 2 equal, some say it's an aberration but I'm staying as wide.
10. Improve your photos with Photoshop: Today, this is a must. If you think that those photos so cool that come in magazines are not improved (not retouched) in Photoshop (or similar), forget it. A good photograph can become a great picture thanks to computer editing. Everyone - except Puree still goes with a Nikon F4 and reels 6 photos - improving digital photos with editing software. When I say playing I mean improve the contrast, levels, white balance, curves ... in short the basic settings, I do not mean to cut Bush's face and put it on a donkey, that's retouching.
As I said, these rules are a homegrown amateur photographer, I am not an expert. If you detect an error or misinformation on my part do not hesitate to tell me. ^^
