Beware of stray colors

Everyone loves color, especially this time of year! But sometimes a bright color is simply in the wrong place. In fact, this topic comes up a lot. So often, students and other budding photographers concentrate so much on their main subject that a stray splash of contrasting color slips by unnoticed. But that contrasting color can draw the viewer's eye away from your subject to the edge of the picture or to the background. So when composing your image, if a bright red or yellow object grabs attention – and it's NOT your primary subject - then the best advice is to recompose and leave it out of the picture.

Are you shooting too quickly?

Because there's no need to pay for film and processing, we all take far more pictures. That's great when we really "work" a subject, exploring it from various viewpoints and perspectives. But it can also produce a shotgun approach where we simply blast away whenever something vaguely interesting appears. Shooting too quickly – without taking the time to make a serious creative effort – leads to snapshots without attention to composition and other details.

Keep the camera steady

More and more DSLR lenses have image stabilization. But a tripod is still frequently the sturdiest alternative when photographing stationary subjects. It also has the added ability to help you critically compose your photos. In any case, be sure to read your lens's instruction sheet. Many lens models require that stabilization be turned off when using a tripod, otherwise possible blurring in the image could occur. When in doubt, turn off the feature.
