As I said in my previous post, you can never be a good photographer by just taking lessons. You might also have a digital photo camera collection, but you still have to experiment.

It’ll be much easier and time-saving if you know the most common photography mistakes right from the beginning.

Never set the ISO too high — The right ISO setting is essential in photography, but you should know how to use it. If you set it high all the time, it doesn’t mean all you photos are going to come out great. Change the modes, the lighting and your position, and see which one comes out the best.

Never ignore the manual – We usually buy the digital photo camera and think that we can handle it without instructions. Your camera might have functions you might not be aware of, and by reading them you can make a huge progress in your knowledge of photography. If you read the manual, it doesn’t mean you don’t know how to use a camera, it just means you’re getting acquainted with it.

Never forget about the zoom – If your digital photo camera has a zoom function, then you have to use it. Instead of standing close to the object, zoom in and take the photo. It is guaranteed that the digital camera zoom will make your photos look much more dramatic. When you walk close to the person or the object, its size changes, but if you use the zoom, the size stays the same.

Never hold the camera away from your eyes – There’s the perfect scene, but it would be better if you were an inch taller. Never hold the camera up to get the scene right. Make some effort and climb a tree or the nearest hill. You need to see the screen of your camera to be able to make some adjustments.

Never say enough – And finally, never stop taking pictures, even when you already got the perfect shot you wanted. There is always a high possibility that you’ll get a better picture. Maybe the digital photography lighting or the weather will be different. Just remember, there is no limit for perfection.
