Carry a camera where ever you go, the best photos are unexpected.
And also try taking the photos from different angles. Try and make the photo the way you see it, like maybe from a birds eye view or having things in front of the lense e.g. some plants if your outdoors. You can play around with editing aswell to change the lighting and stuff. www.picnik.com has great editing stuff I use it all the time :)
Hope I helped!What鈥檚 the best advice you鈥檝e been given to take great pictures?
Okay i used to be a professional photographer for a magazine called ';Minors Out of Control'; and i took a lot of pictures. So here are my tips.
1) Put butter on the lens of the camera to prevent glare
2) Make sure your lighting is very strong, possibly even so bright that whoever is in the picture appears white.
3) Take pictures of naked men, for this automatically increases the chances of the picture being more attractive to women, therefore being a big hit and you become that much closer to loosing your virginity.
4) Once you do all of those you should try taking pictures of abstract things such as large piles of dog crap, and urine streams entering the bowl of a toilet.
Hope this helped.What鈥檚 the best advice you鈥檝e been given to take great pictures?
The best advice I've ever received was to be patient. If you wait long enough, the perfect shot will come. This works well for lifestyle shots (sometimes the light isn't right but in an hour or two it's ideal) and also for people shots - sometimes you just need to keep shooting until everyone is relaxed and you get that winning shot. Also being patient has helped me to relax and enjoy the experience. I only do photography as a hobby but sometimes I'll spend a day just out and about getting the perfect shot. It's an ideal way to spend the day.
The best advice I ever found on taking pictures was for taking photo's at zoos. Take a look at this guy's advice and if you follow what he says your pictures will improve incredibly.
Other than that follow the advice of the professional model photographers. Take lots of photos and cull them mercilessly.
be patient. to be more creative, don't put the object you're focusing on in the middle. split the picture into three rows and three columns to make it easier. also, flash is usually not a good idea. there is a talent in photography but it's very easy to learn. you may want to buy a photography help book. a more expensive character many not necessarily bring better photos.
best of luck.
The best advise i have ever been giving dealing with photography is ';Don't get discouraged too soon: photography is an art the you must commit to and then learn from.'; I believe that is very true. A lot of people give up photography before they ever realize their potential. Photography is a skill you develop like painting and singing; You are not born with the know-how to create masterpieces of expression. you must develop it.
I have run into a very helpful article on how to develop photography skills. Take a look

My girl's sister grabbed her new Sony camera while I was hopping around on one leg at a busy beach last summer, trying to change into my speedos and clutch my beach towel around my waist at the same time.
';Smile';....she laughed,obviously going after a funny shot for the family album.
......';And lose the towel';
It was then that my equally mischievious girlfriend quietly leaned over on her towel behind me and helped her sister out.
*Jeeez...
Do you absolutely HAVE to make your cameras so easy to use even a blonde 18yr old amateur with 5 minutes experience can grab a two nanosecond crystal-clear snapshot?
How can a camera POSSIBLY focus that fast?
Thanks guys, Now I'm not only in the family album....they made me the centre spread.

I have been shooting birds over the last few months.
With a camera of course, not a gun.
I post examples of my work here in the Yahoo Answers photography category, asking for critique %26amp; advice on particular images.
';Bright sunshine lighting the bird %26amp; make sure it's eye is in focus';
Once I paid more attention to making that the prime objective when taking the photo, I could see the quality my images increase across the board.
It seems the rest of the image could be a blurred mess, if that eye is well lit %26amp; in focus, all else is somehow forgiven.
I took this yesterday.
If the tip of the beak was sharp instead of the eye, it would not have been as good a shot.

When I read that, I didn't realise just how important it was, until I put it into practice %26amp; saw the immediate difference in the results.
That is the best, most recent advice I have received anyway.
Remembering to bracket your exposures is always good advice, too often I think it is not going to be necessary, then I get home %26amp; realise it could have been better.
Galen Rowell once said, ';read then shoot,... read some more and shoot again';
I say, ';Learn about light, how it reacts to emulsion and then take advantage of the relationship.';
That's film photography. For digital I would advise finding a mentor then emulating them.
Galen Rowell was mine... go find your own.

Do NOT look through the view finder. Look AT the viewfinder. Your whole composition is right there and a bit of camera movement can improve the image immensely
if your trying to take a picture of something specific, don't distract the viewer with different things. example: if your taking a picture of yourself, don't wear a picture on your shirt or have some cool background. keep a solid shirt and people will be looking at the subject of the picture!
If you are taking people, try and get them to show energy and interest. That 'jumping Toyota Ad' words wonders in my family. Gets everyone to jump high and really laugh. They come alive and if they are all doing it, no one is self-conscious.
Learn some good jokes and tell them - people really laugh and you get a great photo.
When it comes to portraits.. Your camera is not what gets the expression and a great image. It is YOU. Your connection with the subject is paramount. That interaction will make every picture perfect. The camera is just a tool to freeze time at the right moment during a perfect one.
Get closer to your subject, or have them get closer to you. Have a camera with several built-in lenses to catch close ups and distant shots. Try to compose the picture if you can so that the overall effect gives the eye to look at something interesting in each section of the shot.
lol i juss tell them to take it at soon as i do this stance nd stuf
i think non-poss pictures r the best
or whn i want a picture i juss do random stances nd hodl the stances for like 2 secs then continue doing more nd at the end i review it nd pick the ones i like the mostt
Great pictures often involve minute details.
Adjust the lighting, ISO of your camera, aperture of your camera, a good background, avoid unwanted things, making the most of the space available and avoid shaking the camera!
DONT FORGET TO USE MACRO for close up photos of anything it helps alot or even today taking pics of my car helped with the writing on the car and small details come out clearer also focuse on the actual object and sort of blacks out background (with my cam anyway)
The best advice is to not be afraid to take a lot of pictures, that sometimes, you have to snap a lot to get the one or two that you see in your mind.
Find a good composition and then wait for something interesting to happen in it. This often makes the difference between a good image and a great one
the feature of your photo should never be in the centre, break the frame up into quaters and position the key feature in the quater that gives you the most interesting shot
A professional photographer, my uncle, recommended that you take as many photographs as possible like 100 and then select the one that you like and delete others.
The Rule Of Thirds.
To focus on the main aspect of the photograph, and not position the subject matter so that it is not noticable or hidden - but well within view or well executed.
When taking a portrait with a flash, have the person look a few degrees to the left or right to avoid red eye. Works a treat.

while u take snap anyone just ask them to stand corner of photo, check light sense,wait for clear snap,make grid lines in settings,
if you taking nature photos adjust light power,
Remember to keep your elbows to your side to avoid camera shake.
Most important is Lighting!
If its a person make sure its at an higher angel, that way you don't see their double chin and makes them look much thinner.
take a different perspective: climb a tree, lay down (look at the world like you're some kind of animal; or from another planet)
Find a good spot, take a whole buncha pictures, and crop until you find the best look.
Play with the lighting. The lighting is what makes a good photo (given that it has good composition).
Fix everything before you even take the shot.
