Half Press the
Shutter
You can drastically improve the reactions of your camera if you hold the
shutter button half-pressed if you frame the shot. This gives the camera a
moment to focus and adjust itself to the conditions, so when you push it down
fully it can almost snap instantly.
Explore Scene Modes
Why not spend some time exploring the scene modes of your digital camera? You’re not getting more bang for your buck if you’re constantly stuck on Auto mode. Portrait modes use smoother skin tones, while Sport modes raise the shutter speed to reduce the amount of motion blur, and night portrait mode use a more natural lighting effect for shooting indoors.

Fill-in Flash
Even on a sunny day, the flash can be surprisingly useful. If your subject is in the shade with their back to the sun, turn the flash to ON (not auto), half press the shutter with it pointed a bright spot in the foreground and take the picture illuminating your subject with the flash.

See It From My
Angle
Even the most basic camera can turn out interesting pictures. If you take a different point of view. Be adventurous. Whether it’s macro close-ups, getting amongst the undergrowth or taking up an aerial vantage point, breaking away from the usual head-high horizontal view can be fruitful.
