1. Getting closer - Try to bring your viewers into the photograph with you. There's no need to hesitate to get as close as possible to the subject unless you feel as if you're going to put yourself in danger. Some of the best photos is a subject in brilliant detail, close up. Be sure your photos are grabbing your viewers by their shirt and saying "Looked at once, twice, three times, keep going."
2. Multiple angles - Any one thing can be captured on camera and there's a million different ways to take its picture. There's only one picture that will stand out from the 999,999 others. Be sure you're snapping from every angle. Up high, down low, to the right and left. The lighting from one photograph that differs from the rest may reveal what's worth infinite words.
3. Take your time and be quick - Different situations - You are the one taking a photo of it. You are the one that needs to be amused by it. Become one with the subject you are photographing and that subject will become one amazing picture. Do not rush it and regret it. Make sure you're satisfied with your pictures at the current moment.
On the other hand, sometimes you need to be quicker. People usually tend to not hold smiles too long for pictures or an animal may dart away rather abruptly. Different situations will call for different speeds of photographing.
4. Lighting factors - The lighting factor can play a major role on how your subject appears in your photo. Play with the lighting a bit and have it coming in at various angles in different photos on the same subject.
5. Be prepared - Every photographer has a favorite subject to photograph. Whether it be birds, landscapes or beaches, you never know when these things will come about. Always have your camera with you, fully charged with plenty of availability on your memory card. It's that one instance, that perfect moment and amazing setting when you'll need your camera most.
6. Tell a story - If there's certain things in the background that belong, keep them. If you feel those certain things do not belong, try to get them out. One or several things behind your subject will tell a very different story if it's in view. Sometimes you may want your viewers to only focus on the subject itself.
7. Shutter speed - In order to capture anything in fast movement, you will need to use a fast shutter speed. With fast shutter speed, you will now be able to capture the perfect moment when the wide receiver catches the football in the end zone, without having to snap one picture and becoming lucky.
8. Off-centering the subject - Moving the subject from the center of the photo can dramatically bring it to life. Move it from 1/3 or to the furthest point to the left or right. Many cameras are designed to focus on whatever is in the middle. Be sure to lock the focus on your subject before slowly moving the camera.
9. Use a tripod - Using a tripod will deaden any camera shake. By doing this you should be able to capture the sharpest image your camera has to offer. If you don't have a tripod, try using anything else to do the job.
10. Be creative - Photography is all about the visual effects. There's no use in taking photos of things that are not compelling to the eye. Make your photo unique and explore the world of colors. Only in the beginning may you "copy" other photographers' ideas and images. After that, use what you've learned and turn it into something that you can only have the visualization for - be unique.
