Want to change your hobby into a form of artistic expression? This article contains tips and tricks that will help you to transform your regular photographs into works of art. Whether you want to learn how to do your own developing or just need some tips on making better shots, you may find the advice you need in the article below.
Would you like to take some shots of your subjects covered with rain? Simulating rain is as easy as bringing a spray bottle to a shoot.
Think about what your photo is going to be used for before shooting it. It is better to take some pictures in landscape mode than portrait mode. While it is possible to change the photo from one orientation to another after it has been taken, sometimes, it is best to make sure that you take it right originally so that you get into the frame all you intended.

There is no secret to becoming a good photographer. Keep shooting and get more experience. Digital cameras give you the ease of not having to develop or keep all your photographs. You will become better as you take pictures of everything you see and judge them later to see where you could have taken a better picture.
Keep your camera handy when you are on a trip. Use it often. A picture snapped without any particular motive may become important to you later by stimulating your memories and helping you call back the ambiance of your trip. Take a picture of the bus you took or the hotel lobby. Take pictures of the outside of a theater or your goofy doorman.
Watch for any patterns, natural or artificial, you may see when you're shooting your subject. Any sort of pattern draws the eye to that part of the shot, which makes your photo more appealing. Learn to use this to create new backgrounds and perspectives in your pictures.
Brainstorm what you want to shoot before you actually shoot it. Sit down, and write out a plan. Come up with ideas that can be useful for taking better pictures. A plan is needed to turn your photography from a hobby to an art form. You will be inspired and see much better results, if you take this approach.
When you finally have a great shot in the viewfinder and are about to push that shutter, be still and hold your breath. Even a little bit of movement on your part can cause a ruined photo. Some people agree that it's best to stop breathing right before pressing the button, as a way of personally steadying yourself.
As a learning exercise, set restrictions that force you to find creative solutions. You could, for instance, shoot only pictures that involve your pet. You could shoot only pictures with water in them. Try taking 100 photographs, all from the same location, and attempt to make each unique. Limitations can often times allow us to see bea
