21 Ways to Shoot Better Photographs
Reminders are good. Learning new things is good. So you might look at this list, of 21 Ways to Shoot Better Photographs, as either a list of reminders or a list of new things to learn. Either way, it is good.
I think the most important ones, for me, are perspective, framing, intentional empty space, and the horizontal line. Everything else seems to fall into place once you follow those few things and really begin to see your photographs before you snap.

For me, the #1 thing I try to do is take lots and lots of pictures. Taking a digital photo is essentially free, so why not? By taking lots of photos, it gives you more opportunity to try different techniques and you have a better chance of taking a photo you really like.

Kyle: Another good tip, to be sure. Never be afraid to take a few photos of the same object, even from the same angles.
Thanks for chiming in, you’ve been lurking lately.

That’s a great list!
I’d say 3 of my biggest are perspective, framing and texture. If I happen upon something with an interesting texture, I always want to take pictures of it.
