Enhance your photos dramatically with these few tips !!

Everyone can point and shoot, heres how to put some variety in your photos, aswell as making your shots better.

all photographs (excluding diagrams) are taken by me and are accessable from my Gallery.

I am not liable for any injury or damage sustained through using these techniques.

Step 1Gather your gear.

For this you can use virtually any type of camera, some of the more advanced techniques may require a higher range camera. But for the majority you can use any camera.

Most people find that they like to plan out what they want to take photos of. Some, like myself wander with a camera until they find something that captures their attention, and thus they capture it with their camera.

For my photos i use an SLR camera, because i am studying black and white photography at school. The camera is a Pentax P30t.

Nice demonstration of your points. Really exceptionally effective in places?

Are these all your shots, found shots, or a mix? It sounds like you're taking some from the web, unattributed, which is a no-no - I hope not!

I really enjoy photography and you will never get any shots of anything unless you have your camera with you! Too often we think it's a burden to sling something on your shoulder (SLR) or even put a small point-n-shoot in your pocket...then comes 'the shot' that you wish you could keep.

No camera = no picture Every time!

You will wander a lot, carrying a camera, that's not even debatable but you will get the practice you need to get the good ones. As you get better more opportunities surface that you wouldn't have caught before.

so far your instructions are good, but this set of illustrations gives the impression of getting a wider view with smaller apertures (higher f-stop), which is not true. the fov (field of view) in the diagrams should be the same, but the depth of field should be illustrated by the subject being in focus and adding some background of different blurriness for the background, illustrating the correct application of depth of field.

Well, you have my vote. I have learned quite a bit and now I know what that tic-tac-toe board on my screen is really for. :)
