Take the time to make anyone who models for you comfortable, and this is especially true if they are not familiar with you. Many people tend to see someone taking photos as a threat. Be engaging, talk to them and ask for their permission to take their pictures. Be clear that the purpose of your photographs is artistic and not invasive.

For landscape photography, attempt to capture the natural depth of the view. Have a person or other object put into the foreground in order to gauge the overall scale of the image. Aperture sizes like f/8 on a consumer camera, or f/16 on a professional DSLR, make it so you need not sacrifice foreground sharpness for background sharpness or vice-versa.

When using a camera that takes film, consider what brand of film you would like to use. Every person that takes photographs has a different taste in what kind of film they like to use. A lot of good film brands are just as good as any other, so it comes down to personal preference. The choice is completely yours, so experiment until you find one you like.

Skies that are overcast should be avoided in photographs. Showing too much gray sky in photos will make pictures appear muted. If you cannot avoid capturing an overcast sky in your shot, opt for black and white rather than color photos. If the sky outside is a beautiful blue, include it in your photos but watch the light.

Take photos of interesting people whose faces tell stories. You should always ask permission first. Pictures like these help you to find more vivid memories when you look back, even if at the time the people seemed unremarkable. It's a great idea to focus on the unique styles and expressions visible in each individual picture.

When capturing images of natural features, large buildings or architectural structures, have some people in the frame to give the image some scale. If someone is looking at the photos and do not know how large it is, it might be hard for them to realize it without some sort of scale to judge by.

In photography, what you have inside of the frame sets off the overall composition of the image. Zoom in on your subject or the most important part of the photo and cut out extraneous objects from the background. This will make sure that people do not get distracted from the main focal point, as well as keep your photographs well styled without the background clutter.

Whenever you are in charge of taking photos for an event or celebration, draft a list of shots that you or the attendees would like to capture ahead of time. This allows you to be organized during the chaos that results from a big party.
