You been there before. You go on holidays and take lots of photos of all those stunning sights and the wonderful places you went to. But you get home, you look at your photos and you’re always disappointed. They look lifeless and dull and ordinary.

They just don’t convey anything of what you wanted to convey when you took them. That sunset just isn’t there. That extra special light that you wanted to capture just seems to have disappeared. That special smile on your girlfriends face looks more like a grimace.

I don’t mean simple mistakes like your thumb over the lens. After all you do know something about photography and you’ve bought a good quality digital camera. You’ve spent some time reading all about it and you’ve managed to get some confidence that your photography skills are on the up and you really ought to be taking good photos now.

But you just seem to be disappointed every time you look at your photos. You don’t seem to be improving. You photos just don’t tell the story you want them to tell.

It’s often a simple step to go from taking ordinary photos to taking good photos you can be proud of. You don’t need to go to College for years, you just need to learn some simple basic processes that every photography professional knows.

Some simple stuff like how to compose a good photograph. How to make best use of light. How to take good photos of people, pets and the outdoors. How to use a tripod properly. How to make best use of your flash.

There’s no doubt that modern cameras are very good. They take good photos if you know how, but don’t expect to just point and shoot and get a great result. It’s still necessary to know how to drive one of those modern cameras to make best use of them. You need to know some photography basics. No camera will take great photos if you just point and shoot.

Now of course if they could make a camera that would take great photos every time just with point and shoot they would, the market would be huge. But the person behind the lens still needs to learn some photography basics.

I’m not saying it’s hard, just that there are some secrets of the pros that you need to learn and practice and apply them to take great photos.

Then you’ll go on holidays next time and you’ll take great photos and never feel embarrassed about showing them to your friends. In fact you might even find your friends asking you for some good photography tips.

And your girlfriend will be smiling, both in the photos, and when she sees them.

I’ve got a book about how to take good photos, get it on my website.

Peter has written a book about How To Take Good Photos full of Tips For Digital Photography. Get it at his website.
