Beginning photographers can easily be intimidated by the scope of their new hobby. The subject can quickly become overwhelming due to the multitude of information that photographers have access to. These are some helpful suggestions to consider when you are wanting to take better pictures.
Don’t dilly-dally when taking your photographs. If you take too long, your subject could move, run away or something could change that could ruin your photo. Taking pictures faster is better.
Overcast Sky
Don’t take pictures that feature a gray, overcast sky if you can help it. Having too much gray sky can make your shots appear washed-out and muted. However, if you are shooting in black and white, an overcast sky can make a beautiful photo. If, on the other hand, the sky is clear and blue, include more of it but consider how the additional light affects the rest of your shot.

By focusing your camera before taking the actual picture and then switching the angle or moving to the side, it will cause the subject to no longer be the central point in your photo. A centered subject is the norm and most people will not find it interesting or artistic. Off-centering your photos makes them more interesting to those viewing them.
Have you ever needed to take photos of subjects that were rained on? There’s nothing wrong with making your own rain. Pack a spray bottle along with your photography gear, and give your subject a light misting before shooting it.
