Every landscape photo should include three important traits. These three include a background, a mid ground and foreground. Most art uses these three factors when producing any quality work. Photography is no different.

Digital cameras almost always have a built-in flash that will go off when the external light is too dim. This is good for a quick spur of the moment picture, but for something more professional, use a external flash unit which is designed to give you a broad lighting range. You should go to the camera store and purchase a flash that fits and syncs properly with your camera.

The shutter speed that you choose will affect your pictures. For moving objects, a quick shutter speed allows you to get the picture at the moment you want without any motion blur. This particular setting is ideal for sporting events. Opening the shutter for a longer time can also produce interesting effects, showing motion through a blurred effect. This is a great technique to use when photographing moving water, such as rushing rapids or a beautiful waterfall.

Make your subject feel comfortable, especially if you don't know them. A lot of people look at someone taking pictures as a potential threat. Make sure to be congenial, talk to them and ask if it is okay to take the pictures. The simple act of conversation can change the perception of the camera from an invasion of privacy to an expression of art.

Look at the ordinary for some inspiration. Take photos of the everday objects around you. You can use anything laying around your home; just be creative. A mundane subject frees you to get artistic with framing, lighting, and composition. There are many ways you can make a truly unique photo. Take some risks for your photography.
