Different shutter speeds work well in different settings so make sure you have a play around with your camera and determine what works for you. By varying shutter speeds, you can capture stills as well as fast moving objects. The quicker the subject of your photo is moving, the faster your shutter speed needs to be and vice versa.

When starting out in photography, you should keep it simple with the settings of your camera. Learn to master one portion of the control, such as aperture or shutter speed, before you worry about the next. You will be able to pivot your effort around the subject you are photographing. This avoids the common time-wasting confusion that ensnares many amateur photographers.

In photography, make sure that your main focus is on the quality and not the quantity of the pictures that you take. It is always better for you to get ten great shots than one hundred average shots in a day. Quality is always the better choice.

You are allowed to move around the subject to find an interesting shot. Try getting shots of the subject from all around it, like above it or below it and so on.

Try to plan out all of your shots. You should plan out everything from the subject, to the angle, to the lighting in the area where you will be shooting. Taking a bit of time to plan all of this out, can lead to much better and more interesting photographs.

With any luck, you now know how to take better photos thanks to these tips. By incorporating them into your photography, you can be on your way to mastering your techniques.
