You can use digital software to create the look of oil paintings, pencil sketches, water colors and many others.

Simplicity is often the key to snapping that great photograph. When photographing a specific event, set your camera’s features on the appropriate settings ahead of time.
Skies that are overcast should be avoided in photographs. A gray sky is going to make your pictures look washed-out. A black and white photo might work best if you have to shoot an overcast sky. If the sky outside is a beautiful blue, include it in your photos but watch the light.
Properly framing your subject can improve your photograph. Make sure to zoom in on the focus of the picture, and keep distracting elements out of the picture. This will unclutter the photograph as well as eliminating unnecessary focal points.

If you are really serious about photography, then you might even want to carry extra batteries in your camera bag, so you never miss anything good.
