1. Take a Steady shot!
Imagine how the Archer ll hold his bow before shooting the arrow; Same way we should be steady so that we don’t shake the camera while taking a picture; don’t hurry if not it will result in blurred images like this.
So Relax and take your time, hold its study, and Click … voila!
2. Look for the Frame.
before clicking the picture, just have a look at the frame and make sure the subject is the main attraction. sometimes people just randomly click results in pictures with half the head in the pic and cutting down the body parts covering only half the person …
And, sometimes the person will be in some corner and the unwanted things will be the main focus. Try to avoid all that.
Few bad examples :
Make Sure you hold the camera in a way that your hands or the camera Tag doesn’t hinder the subject
What's been focused on in this picture? The 2 persons where are their heads or the background as a landscape so what these 2 people are doing in my landscape photo?
Instead of focusing on the model, the Reflector was focused… To avoid all these and make sure that Our subject is of prime focus.
Once again the photographer’s hand came into the picture and Half of the second person was not covered.
3. Rule of Thirds
Few examples;
The Deer was at the right corner of the intersection of Lines and the horizon of the Field meeting the Sky was aligned at the Bottom Line ! and the pic just looks appealing!
4. Camera mode:
Don’t shoot at Auto mode all the time; Try out all the Modes and use it wisely.
For example, use the Sports mode to capture the Kids and object in motion….. Kids will always be busy and playing so they'll not be static and the auto mode will capture the movement all blurred so if we use the Sports mode it will capture the motion beautifully!
5. Take a second shot!
it takes immense practice so if the pic was not good on the first try, go for a second shot of the same image and remember “ Insanity is doing the same things again and again and expecting different results” So if the First time the Pic is bad, Look what makes it bad and try a better shot next time.
6. Read and DIY:

If you were using DSLR, understand how it works and get the basics like How Exposure, shutter, ISO all related and how Focal length comes in handy, why not to boost ISO more than 800 even at pitch-black darkness.
If you know the basics right; you were not a novice anymore :)
8. See the World differently!
everyone has their own unique creativity, so see the World differently and a Pic appealing to someone not necessarily appeal to others. So just click anything and everything. the Objective is we should be happy with our work. we are our own's master.
