Doesn't matter what camera you have, if it’s a small compact or an all-out DSLR, the principles for taking a good photo are in essence the same, once you’ve acquired them, you can start to experiment and witness great results very soon.
1. Get close up to your subject
Try concentrating on a certain part of your subject; it can be somebody's face in a portrait shot or, just a close-up of an vehicle's headlight. By separating just a small part of your subject can give the picture more feeling.
2. Compose your shot
Take some time to compose your photo; imagine where you want the main subject to be, work your way to get a well-balanced photo by knowingly placing the subject inside the frame just where you want it, and consider the simple things such as maintaining a steady horizon level and observing the rule of thirds.
3. In focus
Another simple but effective rule, but still a rule that happens to most of us, is to actually hold your subject in focus; this can happen often when your camera is set to ‘auto’ mode; you may think you’re focusing on someone, but your camera is focusing on something else behind the subject. When this occurs, try focusing manually.
4. Experiment more
Don’t be scared to experiment with your photography, with your skills and with your equipment; examine your subject from different angles, try various ways to create your shot, you might result in with something remarkable and original.
