Here are a few basic tips to get you started taking “good” photos.

• Choose an INTERESTING subject – something that has unusual features, interesting patterns, is really beautiful or unusual, etc. Taking a picture of the wall or the floor will probably be boring.
• That subject should probably be the biggest, brightest, or most prominent thing. If you’re taking a picture of a cool car and I can see other cars, unless the cool car really stands out, you need to get closer and crop out some of the distractions.
• MOVE. Choose an interesting angle. Get close enough or far enough away.
• LIGHT. Photography is all about light. Without proper light, you won’t have a good photo. Make sure you choose or create suitable light for your image.

          • FOCUS! Nothing ruins a good shot more than being out of focus, and while we can fix a lot of other things after the photo is taken, there’s not really much you can do if the photo is out of focus in the first place. Many a good shot has been ruined when it was taken slightly out of focus. Trust me. Check your focus!
