- Be good in spotting impromptu support for your camera. Taking a picture of even the best subjects with a shaky hand would result to bad photographs. When you are off somewhere, bringing a tripod would definitely not be priority but there are so many ways to keep the camera steady such as a bag of rice, a wall or a tree.

- Reset camera settings all the time. Missing great photo opps is one of the worst things that can happen to you and this usually happens after you crank up from a prior shoot. To avoid these problems, you should reset all your camera settings especially the setting and ISO once you start another shoot.
- Make sure that people subjects are not smiling. When snapping pictures of people, try to move in closer to catch a better angle of the subject and do not snap smiling pictures of the subject. Choose the right environment for the person that you are trying to snap the picture of and avoid the biggest mistake that amateurs make when choosing a human subject, do not take a picture where your subject is smiling. The image will result to a picture that looks more professional.
- Choose from one of the picture styles. One of the best things about Canon DSLR cameras is that there are several picture style options that you can use. You can still do some editing after taking the picture but it would also be useful to know these features. For instance, you will get a better preview on how the end result will look once you have already processed it in your computer. Plus, you can also use customized picture styles to get cooler looking pictures.
- Don’t be afraid to shoot a lot of pictures. You can never take too many pictures. In fact, shooting a burst of frames continuously even when you are planning to take snap shots of static subjects is highly advisable. The changes in the expression of the subjects, the variety in the light can be missed when you are only planning to take one picture. So, be sure to shoot a burst and choose the best frame for later.

Instead of simply looking for a subject, you need to learn how to capture the perfect moments through the lenses of your camera.
