While digital cameras have made photography more accessible to people, they have also reduced the gap between serious photographers and casual clickers. To create images that rise above the sameness and grab attention, keep in mind these five tips at all times.

Digital Photography Tip One: Watch the Light

Photography is all about painting with light. Yes, the camera will take pictures even in the glare of the midday sun, compensate with automated features like white balance, and produce a flat, washed out picture. Avoid shooting in such conditions. Wait for the sun to go behind a cloud. Or wait till the sun sinks lower, casting that much more appealing golden glow as the shadows lengthen.

Learn to look for subtle shifts in light, and study the effects on objects around. Your photography will improve vastly with attention to and understanding of light.
