Some of the Most Common Photographic Mistakes
Do's/Don'ts 
Tags: photography, pictures, take, snap, photo, mistake, help
Here is a quick rundown of the most common mistakes people (like me) make that mess up a good photo or prevent us from taking a good photo.
| 1. | Images are too cluttered (less is more) |
| 2. | There is no Bad Weather in Photography (storms make for great photos) |
| 3. | No Patience (if you wait something great will happen) |
| 4. | Digital Photography is a blessing (but isn't always right) |
| 5. | "I'll photoshop it later" (get it right the first time) |
| 6. | Unwanted things in a scene (change angles to clear up background clutter) |
| 7. | Always shooting from eye level while standing up (get on your knees or lay down) |
| 8. | Placing People in the Picture (you don't need to be in every photo) |
| 9. | Not including other people (sometimes you do need a person though - but they don't always need to be facing the camera and smiling) |
| 10. | Wrong Perspective (your camera has zoom - so use it!) |

Comment by: mellon These are really good tips. I should know - I'm an AWFUL photographer and it's probably because I make all of the same mistakes! :)
Comment by: faithhopelove20 Incorrect use of flash too- use natural light where available.
Comment by: moonlapse Well, there is bad weather for photography- really really bright daylight.
