Top Ten Digital Photography Tips

Derrick Story in O'Reilly.com:

You've heard this before: Digital cameras do all the work. You just push the button and great pictures magically appear. The better the camera, the better the photos. Isn't that right? Heck no!

The truth is that you can make great photos with a simple consumer point-and-shoot camera, or take lousy shots with the most expensive Nikon. It's not the camera that makes beautiful images; it's the photographer. With a little knowledge and a willingness to make an adjustment here and there, you can squeeze big time photos out of the smallest digicam.

To help you down the road to great image making, here are ten tips that will enable you shoot like a pro (without maxing out your credit card on all that expensive equipment).

This is an absolutely wonderful series of tips. If people paid more attention to what's important in photography--the subject matter, the situation, and the camera settings--and less on what isn't important--i.e. the cost of your camera and the sheer number of megapixels its processing--we'd all have much better pictures as a result. A must-read.
