Photography Tips for Amateur Photographers
4. Good lighting and time of day
If you see a spot you would like to photograph, then take note of different weather conditions and how they affect the lighting. Even the time of day makes a huge impact on the kind of lighting you receive.
5. Change perspective
I always tell people who start with photography that the biggest change you can make is experimenting with different perspectives on an object. Don’t just take a photo of a flower from the top, crouch down and take a photo from the bottom.
6. Use free resources

The internet is a wonderful source of knowledge for photographers. Regularly search for the latest technique, or join a group in a forum or LinkedIn. That way, you will be able to ask all those questions you have about photography. Some groups organise photography runs where they take you and anyone else who wants to go and you all shoot together with a specific project in mind.
Join a photography society in your area. This ensure that there will always be a photographer close at hand and you will have people you can chat to if you’re more a face-to-face person than a chatroom follower.
7. Know your camera’s capabilities
Read through your manual, put it down and read it again…and again and again. The reason for this is that you should know your camera inside out. Photographers tend to skim over white balancing and focus presets on their cameras, which make a huge difference in the field.
Following these steps will make you a successful photographer in no time. Just remember that the best you can do for your photographic career is to practice, practice, practice!
