This article will give you some easy to follow digital photography tips that work and yield some pretty nice results. In order for these tips to work, however, you are going to need to get out there, practice, and make mistakes as fast as possible so you can learn from them.

Taking pictures is not hard. A lot of people think it is but it actually isn't. One of the biggest problems with taking pictures is the way people frame shots.

Framing Shots

When people take pictures, for the most part, most average photographers haven't a clue how to frame the shot right. They may put the subject dead center, have their face cut right of at the border, and a number of other issues. Now, there are lots more mistake such as blur, etc, however, getting good framing and composition for photos will make your photos look much nicer.

Composition 101:

As stated above, one of the biggest mistakes is framing subjects dead center. A simple solution to this problem is to simply move the subject of center. This is considered the rule of thirds rule. Divide your picture into three equal sections. The middle section is the one you want to avoid.

Another simple compositional technique you can use to take better shots is to use the lines in the picture. Lines are literally all over the place. Using them to your advantage will yield much better shots. For example, a picture of a building with lines leading to it will all much more impact.

Those are two very simple compositional techniques you can use. Now, in some situations it will be great to use these and in others you may want to use other techniques.
