On the Digital Photography School website I found a 100-things-about-photography list that is very useful. So I report here not all the 100 things, but only the more important ones.
- Enjoy what you are shooting.
- Pay attention to your thoughts and emotions while you are shooting.
- Set goals you can achieve.
- Write tips about photography, beacuse writing is also learning.
- Never go shooting without a tripod.
- Watch the place you want to shoot first wirth your heart then with the camera.
- Perspective is the killer.
- Keep your camera clean.
- Find your own style of photography.
- Try to compose more and to hit the shutter less.
- Take care of the golden ratio.
- 10mm rocks!
- To give a landscape photograph the extra boost, integrate a person.
- Always shoot in RAW.
- Discover the things you think are beautiful.
- The best equipment is that what you have now.
- You can't take photographs of everything.
- Pay attention on the different ways that light falls on different parts of your scene.
- The eye moves to the point of more contrast.
- Clouds increase the atmosphere of a landscape.
- Start a photoblog.
- YOU ARE NOT YOUR CAMERA.
- Always turn around, sometimes the better image is behind you.
- It's who's behind the camera, not the camera.
- Shoot as often as possible.
- Re-check your ISO settings. It's aweful to detect the wrong settings on your screen.
- Try to amplify your mental and physical limits. Take some extra shots when you think "it's enough".
- Pay attention to structures in the sky and wait until they fit into structures in the foreground.
- Ask yourself: what do you want to express in your images?
- Photography is never a waste of time.
- A better camera doesn't guarantee better images.
- Post processing = optimizing your image to te best result.
- If you have an idea an immediately you think "no, this is not going to work", do it anyway. When in doubt, always shoot.
- There will always be people who will not like what you are doing.
- Henri Cartier-Bresson was right when he said: "YOUR FIRST 10,000 PHOTOGRAPHS ARE YOUR WORST."
