Digital photography is a fun and exciting hobby or career. Here are some tips that you can use to improve your own work:

• Take lots of photos. They effectively cost nothing so why be stingy.

• Critically analyse your photos and work out why it worked or why it didn’t.

• Be very selective. Discard photos that you are unhappy with then go take some more.

• Organise your photos into folders so you can find them and use them later. Rename or even batch rename your photos with descriptive names.

• Use the labelling and search features of your photo editing software to describe your photos so that it becomes easy for you to find them later on.

• Backup your photos. You can fit at least 300 high quality images on a single CD (about 2000 on a DVD disk).

• View art shows, galleries and internet sites that celebrate photography. Learn from the masters.

• Use photography to “tell a story”. Photos can carry a powerful message to the viewer. — Compiled by The Surfer
