  Here are some tips for aspiring digital photgraphers:

  1. The rule of thirds.
  
  If you’re not familiar with this, this simple means creating imaginary horizontal and vertical lines (although some cameras have the fature to make thse lines visible) that divide your screen / view into three. You subject should always be at those lines, not in between.

  2. Bring extra batteries.
  You never know when you’re going to run out, so always make sure that you have some extra batteries with you, especially in long trips. Bring the charger along so you can replenish you batteries when you find access to an outlet. This is even more important if you’re bringing along a supplementary flash.

  3. Bring a tripod.
  It makes for steadier shots, and is especially useful when you want to be in the picture with everybody in those timed shots. Just don’t bring the ones that are too heavy.
