7 Tips To Take Better Photograph...

1. Enter contest

Contests always have a theme to help you find your subject. It can help when you have no idea what you need to choose as your subject.

2. Visit zoo

Many animals are good subjects for your photography training. Visit the zoo with other photography fanatic and learn from them.

3. Plan

Think before you push that shutter button. Let's take the example of the zoo, do you want to take a sleeping tiger or an active tiger leaping for its lunch. I once saw a white tiger leaping from the pond for its lunch. The leaping tiger with water dripping from its body will make a marvelous picture however I was not expecting to see that and missed that shot which I still regret today.

4. Go beyond

Point and shoot is what beginner photographers are doing. When you want to show off your pictures, you need to take the picture with different angles and lighting.

5. Timing

You should learn to take pictures at different timing. You can only get morning dew at morning and different timing in a day will give different lighting to your picture. When you want to create the mysterious feeling of your picture, it is best that you take your picture at night.

6. Go online

There are a lot of inspirations online. Photographers are happy to share their experiences in their website or blog. You can even ask them questions when you need any photography tips.

7. Be prepare

When you want to take better photograph, you need to carry your camera wherever you go (you can also bring it to work if you don't mind). You will never know when a great shot will leap out.

There are more photography tips every where in your life. Just open your senses and you will find more tips to help you take better pictures.

Have fun photographing,
