Take your camera everywhere

Take your camera everywhere. When you have your camera with you all the time, you will start to see the world differently; you will look for and find opportunities to take great photographs. And, of course, you will end up taking more photographs; and the more you take, the better a photographer you will become. Furthermore, if you're taking many photographs of people will get used to you having your camera with you all the time.

Start off with setting your camera to one of its automatic modes, if you have a choice. Most useful is "Program" or "P" mode on digital SLRs. If your photos come out poorly focused or poorly exposed, then start operating certain functions manually.

Easy ways to get better pictures

Many people think they'll improve their photography by buying a very good and expensive new camera. The truth is, in photography, technique is much more important than equipment. And taking good pictures is something anyone can do with any camera, if you practice enough and avoid some common mistakes.

First did you ever read your manual for the camera you have?

Clean the site where the plant is

When you are ready to take a picture in the garden, always look around the subjet. Remove dead flowers, dead leaves.

Also look at the background.

And try not to use Photoshop to clean the picture.
