Not all of us get the privilege of learning the ropes from talented photographers, and at times, we have to (creatively) hone our skills. What is your technique for shooting better photos? Practice makes perfect, so we get better by snapping as many of these as we can every day.

At times, it feels like getting out there, and being in my element is the best way to capture excellent photos. The moments in which my focus was at optimum ended up being my most successful ones. YouTube is a source of excellent tips, both for the amateur and professional photographer.

Keep taking a lot of pictures on a regular basis. The saying "Practice makes perfect" has stood the test of time because it's true. That, and I always picture in my mind what the shot should look like, and if it doesn't turn out that way I try different lenses, filters, etc.....until it get better.
