Top tips

Hi,
I seen a recent posting with a link to a list of top ten tips ""most pros
would agree are top of the list to make sure your photos are as good as they
can be, the "Info Dude's" list was well and truly slated.
I've been think about this and my top tips for better photos would be;
1. Use a tripod where possible
2. Take plenty of photos
3. Edit hard
What would your top 3 tips be? Go on join in the debate...
Cheers

Re: Top tips

1) Avoid centering the subject, unless you've thought about this.
2) Don't zoom in till the subject takes up most of your real estate
unless you've thought about this. Often, it's the relation the subject
has with its surroundings that matters more than the subject itself.

Re: Top tips

Tony,
You should have named your tips, "Tips for rich photographers with
nothing else to do in life except take pictures". Last time I looked,
they weren't giving away medium format cameras or darkroom equipment. I
guess this might be good advice for someone who wants to be just like
you, but in these days of digital photography, going back to film is
ridiculous. Having spent many years shooting film, both color and b&w,
I don't believe there's anything you can learn through doing all this
that you can't learn by doing digital and experimenting. Would you know
"more" about photography if you shot film? Certainly, you'd know
something about film photography. But if you're not interested in film,
what's the point? Just because you learned it that way doesn't mean
it's the best way to learn. Just one of many ways to learn photography,
and probably not the best way today unless someone's particularly
interested in film.

Re: Top tips

1. Eschew (searching for a) style.
Everybody has a style, their own, why search to mimic one or aquire
one? In photography, style is both meaningless as a word and as a
concept because its usually the result of superficial gimmickry and/or
mindless copying. There's no 'I' or 'clone' or in originality (unless
its 'Imclone', shhhh, the 'i' between the 'lty' is just eye candy
nougat filler). What you need is vision and the courage to shoot your
own way and go beyond reliance on superficial surface effects (hint -
Cokin never made a filter for good ideas) to transcend both style and
subject matter and get to the content - what feelings/ideas you are
trying to express in the shot. OK, its a very long "tip" but that's my
style, no my vision, no my...
2. Set your own standards and define your own limits. When something
sucks it sucks, when its great you know it. Believe it. Listen to
others criticism but in the end what you value and why (apart from
whatever value is inherent in the work itself) is still your choice.

stickers now available in the lobby by the pop corn dispenser between
intermission for $2.99 per dozen).
3. Snickers bars are a meal unto themselves, just don't live on the
things. See tips numbers one and two... Yum!

Re: Top tips

interesting... I was out on the town tonight and took some shots of a band,
but they only had 1 or 2 spots, not enough to get decent light... I was
experimenting with flash, and also RAW as I have only had my dig SLR camera
a couple months, and don't have a real handle on the flash or RAW bits
yet...
I currently have a total of 30 instruments, 10 electric guitars, 8 acoustics
5 or 6 violins and the rest are various others... nite kk

Re: Top tips

It's a reference to a series of Holiday Inn ads on the TV here in the US.
(Holiday Inn is a motel chain) They have some guy doing something dangerous
that requires a high degree of skill, like piloting a rescue helicopter, or
brain surgery....And when those close by, or dependent on him discover that
he isn't the real skilled person, he says, "No, I've never done this before,
but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night."

Re: Top tips

Bandicoot wrote that he came from a musical family, so William alluded
to it being just as relevent as his staying at a motel as to Bandicoot's
musical ability.

That is what I ment with "edit hard".
When I did a lot of film shooting, I used to bother with enlarging
about 10% of my shots (no winder/motor drive). I know a lot of people
are more trigger-happy in digital, but start off with only considering
the best 10% could be a starting point. In fact, just forcing oneself
to select the best 10 (or whatever)% could be a good exercise.
