In the scene before you, frame a select part of it to create a good composition. A great picture will allow the viewer to see a particular aspect of the subject in the photograph. Don’t attempt to include too much. If you are wanting to show an overview of something, shoot a group of photos that can show the same scene from different vantage points.
Make sure you taking lighting into account when you’re taking your photos. Will there be shadows cast upon your subject? Is your subject squinting into the sun or other bright light? Try moving around to find the best angle in the lighting to get the best photo. Try taking your photos at different vantage points so that you can see what works best.
Use a tripod for maximum camera stability. For random shots of your kids or buildings, a bit of camera shake isn’t a big deal, but for once-in-a-lifetime shots that really matter, a bit of camera shake can ruin a perfect memory. If a tripod is not available, try setting the camera on a flat surface.
