Try to use a shutter release when capturing a landscape shot. This will make is possible for you to get those difficult shots without the chance of wobbling your camera when you have to hit your shutter button. If you cannot afford to get one, use the timer feature that is built into your camera.

Give your subject something to look at to avoid direct eye contact with the lens. You are sure to get more natural looking photos if you do not have them looking directly into the lens. Have them focus on something behind you or looking to one side or the other.

You should think about getting a tripod. A good tripod offers you more stability and allows you to take your time composing your picture. Get a tripod that give you flexibility in height and positioning. Tripods are a useful tool for certain kinds of pictures only. Do not use a tripod if you are looking for a unusual angle.

Keep a notebook with the dates of the days that you were out taking photos with the location where you were shooting. You can get as detailed as you like in these notes. They are meant to help you remember exactly where and when you took the photos so you can add it to captions later.

Understand and anticipate the impact that wind will have on the photos that you take. For example, if you are planning on shooting flowers, avoid days where the wind is very active. When flowers and plants are stable, you will have the best chance to get the highest quality and resolution in your picture. In situations where you don't have a choice, such as weddings, have a contingency plan. Are there sheltered areas where the wind will have less impact?

Steady your camera as much as possible if you're using a zoom because camera shake becomes very apparent the more you zoom in. If your camera has a digital stabilization feature, make sure it is turned on before zooming in on your subject. If you're using a film camera, or your digital camera doesn't have image stabilization, brace yourself or use a tripod to avoid introducing blurriness into your pictures.

A lot has changed since the camera was first invented. You want to make sure that you are using your technology to your advantage in every way that you can. Hopefully the information in this article will be useful to you and will enhance your photography skills greatly.
