I have been working on an addendum for a photo class and have started compiling a list of tips and tricks for better pictures.
An Example: "The largest portion of most pictures as described by percentage of picture area normally turns out to be the background. It should surprise no one that the background is also the home of most of the distractions. Make your subject larger and eliminate much of the background. Less background usually equals fewer distractions and better pictures." I would be very interested in learning from this group what you feel is your simple tip or trick for a better picture. All of these tips and tricks are open to criticism and may not apply to all pictures. Please let the responders provide their tips without debating or criticizing their suggestions. The point is to gather input, not to gather criticism for those who provide input. Ed Tyler
