1. If you’re new to photography, challenge yourself by taking on a 30-day photo project where you shoot one photo a day for the next 30 days. It’s more manageable than Flickr’s Project-365, and it’ll help you try different photography techniques. Announce it and then post your results when you’re done. That’s going to help motivate you, most especially during days when the last thing you want to do is to pick up your camera after a long day at work or school.
2. When composing, take 3 steps to the right, and 3 steps to the left. It might give you the angle that you were looking for.
3. Memorize your camera. It saves you a lot of time when you know what to push and which button to hit. You can’t afford to fumble when the perfect shot comes along.
