After a long gap....again im starting to write my experiences and knowledge about photography....i hope this will help you to take best pictures....thanks to my wife for helping me book- english....
1. The key to constant improvement is innovation, practice, imagination, persistence and crucially, learning from your mistakes. Believe me, at least two times out of three it just doesn’t come together.
2. If you’re working in a studio, make detailed technical notes. For example, note all the f-stops, light outputs of the strobes, distance between the subject and background, distance between camera and subject. Attach a copy of the final image to the tech notes. I promise all of this will make your photographic life much easier.
3. Before setting up and producing an image, take your idea and try to accurately visualise the picture in your head, really imagine how your finished image might look. Use this as a starting point then try to create an environment where you can allow your vision to come to life using whatever it takes… location, lighting, backgrounds, models, props etc. However, don’t keep things too regimented, build in a few variables and definitely allow for happy accidents
4. Like with many things in life, confidence is central to good innovative picture making, having the confidence to be an artist, the confidence to experiment technically and with ideas, having the confidence to make decisions and see them through despite criticism and finally the confidence to stand out as unique in a visually cluttered world. The most famous photographers of today have had the confidence to be different, to lead the way rather than follow.
5. If our camera in manual settings …To never miss a street picture, always have your camera set to 1/250 sec at f/5.6, ISO 400. When the clocks change for summer, change the aperture to f/8 instead.
6. Practice, practice, practice and when
you think you know it
all, practice again. The most important thing for me is to be at one with my camera, which in turn gives me confidence.

7. No matter how good your theory and technical knowledge is, the best place to learn is on the job. Often people see press photographers weighed down with gear and assume that they’ll be getting much better shots
8. Think about photographing what we can’t see, that we can only imagine, either an object or a concept.
9.When photographing children, get on your knees. pictures of kids are much nicer when you’re on their level and seeing things as kids see them. It’s even better when you can get the camera angle lower than the child’s eyes.
10. I remember being told at MY JNTU art college: ‘Always shoot with the sun behind you or to the sides to avoid flare.’ Some of my favourite shots have been taken when I’ve allowed flare to happen – fashion shots, portraits and interiors have all benefited on occasion…
