1. Shoot when the Light is Right
In a very literal sense, light is the ‘raw material’ of photography – just try taking a picture without it! And that’s equally true whether you’re shooting digitally or with a film-based camera. But light varies enormously, in terms of colour, intensity and contrast, and successful picture-taking depends upon taking this into account. Some photographers only think about using their camera when the sun is out. However, while bright, contrasts light are perfect for many kinds of photography; other conditions are more suited to other subjects. Portraits, for instance, benefit from soft, overcast light. In fact, there’s no such thing as ‘bad’ light – it all depends on the subject you’re taking and the effect you’re trying to achieve.
Bright sunlight
For bold, strong subjects that have vibrant colours, there’s nothing like bright sunlight to bring them to life
Stormy weather:
Some of the most dramatic lighting you’ll find is just before and just after a storm.
Soft lighting
To preserve as much detail as possible, it’s best to use the diffuse lighting you get on an overcast day. Avoid bright sunlight, which is often too contrasts.
Rainy days: splashes of colour don’t put your camera away just because it starts to rain. Choose a subject with bright colours, and you’ll find the great pictures
Sunny with clouds
Shots can look bland with pure blue skies, and better photos can often be taken with a few clouds to add interest.
2. Powerful composition
When you see something that is worth photographing, what do you do? Simply lift the camera to your eye and fire off a few frames? Or do you think carefully about how to compose the subject to its best advantage?
Many photographers place their main subject or the horizon slap-bang in the middle of the photograph – producing dull, predictable results. Of course, one of the great things about digital imaging is that you can improve things later on, but even so it’s worth following a few simple ‘rules’ that will improve your success rate enormously and really make your pictures stand out from the crowd.
Filling the frame
One of the easiest ways of generating more impact in your pictures is to fill the frame with your subject - either by going in close or by using a telephoto setting from further away.

Rule of thirds Imagine your picture divided into thirds horizontally and vertically. Placing the subject on one of these thirds helps create a balanced composition.
Placing the horizon
In landscape photography, one of the key decisions is where to position the horizon. Place it near the middle of the frame
3. Getting Results
The starting point in photography has to be getting sharp results. Unless you’re going for a deliberately ‘arty’ image, an out-of-focus or badly blurred photo is really only fit for the bin.
Despite all of the ‘sharpening’ technology that’s currently available in image manipulation and enhancement packages, the truth is you’ll never achieve the same quality as you would have if you’d recorded it sharp in the first place. The secret lies in careful focusing and using a fast shutter speed. Also, try to use some support such as a tripod – or a convenient wall!
Pin-sharp perfect just how sharp your pictures and exactly how good is your photographic technique? A subject such as this will let you find out. Here, thanks to accurate focusing, an in expensive camera and careful steady hand- every detail in the doom can be seen.
The effects of camera shake
The pictures show how devastating the effects of camera shake can be. Taken under low light conditions, the image on the left was taken at ‘auto’ shutter speed but is blurred.

Romulus Whitaker is without doubt one of the leading lights both in Indian herpetology and the Indian conservation movement today.
Whitaker’s base at Agumbe, constructed in 2005, and now a fully functioning research, conservation and education centre, is the first of seven research stations that will connect key remaining rainforest strongholds throughout India.
