7 Good Habits For Clicking Better Photos

5. Think!

Shoot with your mind. Don’t just focus on getting ‘a lot’ of photographs. Instead, focus on getting ‘good’ photographs. Take time before framing each shot to see what you really want to focus on. Try and get some meaning into your pictures, and soon, it’ll become second nature to you.

6. Understand Your Camera More

It’s vital to have a good understanding of your camera. A good craftsman or artist can perform well, only when he has the knowledge of his tools and equipment. Read through your camera manual well to know what all functions the camera has. And that will help you to click better photos, rather than being dependent on editing software to correct the pictures later. Your photography becomes a lot easier and better when you know how to make the best use of your camera.

7. Aim for Variety

Good photographers always aim for variety. If you’ve done something before and have got a beautiful shot, it means you’ve mastered that bit. But the next time, you don’t have to show your mastery; you’ve to instead try and do something new. You must aim for different styles of photography and different kinds of framing each time you pick up the camera. Again, inspiration and research plays an important role in helping you do this, so read photography books, essays, magazines etc. and look at other’s work to know how you can achieve variety in your photography.

Always remember that the idea is not to have a huge collection of fancy cameras and lenses, but to have a good portfolio of work. Even the most basic of cameras can give you great shots, provided you know how to make the best use of the camera and have framed your shot well. Follow these simple habits, and you will soon see a noticeable difference in your work.
