Whenever I think of a useful photography tip, I always write it down for layer. Most of them are forgettable, but some are so helpful that I try to tell them to as many photographers as possible. This article some contains of the best. These bite-sized photography tips are easy to understand, covering everything from beginner camera technique to creativity and composition. If you're learning photography, these should be especially helpful for you along the way.

I will also made a video with a separate list of tips, if you're more of visual learner, It has some more "advanced" tips (mainly some lesser-known photography techniques I like to use) that are different from the tips in the rest of this article. you can watch it here:

Now let's take a look at my favorite photography tips for beginners.

Work With Your Composition

To take engaging photo, you need to be engaged with what you're doing. Don't just fly by on autopilot. Instead, put thought into your composition and try to make your photo as good as possible.

That starts with knowing the basics of how to compose good photo. Don't cut off important parts of your subjects with the edge of your frame. Keep your horizons level, and try to eliminate any distractions in your photo by adjusting your composition. See if your photo ha a sense of balance and simplicity. And if the photo doesn't look good on your first try, keep experimenting until you get it right.

Use the Camera You Already Have

Camera gear is not all that important.

There are countless cameras, lenses and other accessories on the market today. We spend a lot of time reviewing them at Photography Life, and it's true that some are better than others (or better suited for a given job). But once you've tested enough of them, the real takeaway is that pretty much everything today is excellent. Today differences are almost always minor, especially at a given price.

So, use the camera you already have, and don't look back. In almost every way, todays entry-level DSLRs are better than the top-of-the-line film SLRs ever were. Yet somehow those film photographers managed to capture beautiful, iconic photo that still look great today.

Much more important are you creative skills and knowledge of camera settings. Focus your effort on those, not on collecting camera equipment.

Learn Which Settings Matter

There are a lot of camera settings, and it takes some practice to get them right. especially as a beginner. Even advanced photographers won't always do everything perfectly. But it's worth learning how to set your camera properly, and which camera settings matter the most, so you have the best chance to make the photos you want.

First, try practicing with camera modes other than full Auto. You won't learn anything if your camera is making all the decisions for you. It might be confusing at first, but hopefully our articles on aperture, shutter speed, and ISO will give you a good head start. Those are the three most important settings in all of photography.

Aside from aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, learn how to focus properly by practicing with the different autofocus modes. You will properly prefer single-servo autofocus modes (also known as One-Shot AF) for stationary subjects, and continuous-servo autofocus (also known as Al Servo) for moving subjects. Don't use manual focus unless it's so dark that autofocus isn't working.

Lastly, shoot in RAW if you want to edit your photo, or think there's any chance you will edit them in the future. JPEGs look good out of camera, but the file have much less latitude for post-processing. (If you aren't sure, shoot RAW+ JPEG, and keep the RAWs for later just in case).

Don't Overexpose Highlights

When you are picking your camera settings, it is critical to avoid overexposing highlights in a photo. The reason? It's simply impossible to recover any detail from white areas of a photo. Personally, I prefer the sky in my photo to have nice texture and color, rather than being just a big, featureless blob, and I bet you do too.

It's pretty easy to keep your highlights intact. But this is where only shutter speed, aperture, and ISO are so important. These are the only camera settings that directly affect the brightness of a photo (ignoring flash settings, of course). Even exposure compensation an important setting itself - just tells your camera to change one or more of these three variables.

Pay Attention to the Light

Probably the single most important part of photography is light. If you take a photo with good night, you've taken a huge step toward getting a good picture. But what counts as good light? It's not all about sunsets.

Often, the goal here is to balance the light's intensity between your subject and background. Even if you're photographing an amazing sunset, the photo could be ruined by a completely dark and silhouetted foreground.

Shoot a Lot and Experiment!

Practice, practice, practice. It's a tip that will get you ahead in any skill, not just photography.

Camera are complicated. So is post-processing software, and so is (maybe especially) the creative side photography.

The more experiment, and the more photo you take, the better your photos will be. It's not just about the quality, either- its also about quantity. you will find that later trips and photoshoots almost always have more winners than your early attempts.

That's not say your early photo are always going to be bad. The famous Henri Cartier-Bresson quote," Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst," is a bit overdramatic. But I have to admit that there's some truth to it. You can take great photos when you're starting out, but it requires some luck, and you will continue getting better as you take more picture.

In short, the most time you spend on photography, the easier it will be to take the photo you have in mind. That's the end goal in all of this- translating the image in your head, and the emotions you feel, into a photograph that makes other people experience the same thing.
