Here are some guidelines that can assist you in developing photography skills.

Always Bring Cameras
The main reason why you missed a good moment to be photographed is because you do not bring a camera. Make it a habit to always carry a camera with you wherever you go because you do not know the moments or the scenery, what scenery you'll meet later. Buy a camera bag or a place for you because it can help you bring the camera, besides it can also protect your camera from the things that are not desirable, such as scratches or collision with another object. Camera bag or place that has a foam and has a fairly tough outer layer is a smart choice for this.

Photos More Much More
If you think that you've pretty much take photos, not so, especially if you are the owner of a digital camera. Results from digital camera images stored in digital format (the files), so there is no harm for you to take more photos. Indeed the image is going to spend some space on your memory card, but later on you can easily remove it if you are not satisfied with the results of the photo. Why would you take a photo if you can take lots of photos? Do not be hesitant, as it may be a place where you took your photos will not visit again. Photo freely, because the scene / scenes of everyday can be boring to be historic for several years.

Believe in Your Eyes
Learning the rules of Composition is a good thing, but sometimes the rules do not apply and there are times when you must trust your eyes. When we will be photographing an object, move it or move the camera and explore the surrounding scenery. When you find the angle that you think a good portrait, Photo capture immediately.

Train Your Eyes
Look carefully and note the photos you take. Try to find shortcomings and criticize the results of the photo. Is the image in accordance with what we want when we are photographing? Whether you like him Composition? Activities for reconsideration by the results of your own photos is essential in improving your photographic senses.

Know Your Camera
You do not need to memorize every feature on your camera as soon as possible. Will more easily remember your features slowly try your camera features one by one through the photography of everyday activities. Analogues such as when we learn to change gears when riding a motorcycle or car. Make the ability to tamper camera features become your habits. Thus you may well know what features should be used when photographing an object or scene.

Always Working on File Copies
This applies to the new era of digital camera photography. You need to remember that before you make a photo copy of the photos you've got is a photograph of the only pristine. Get used to create a copy of the file image you want to fiddle with tooling. Some of the processing / organizing digital images usually include this feature.

Many beginners often ask, how to make the background becomes blurry when the photo-portrait? Actually, how easy, and not less than three steps. Previously, you need a digital SLR camera, for DSLR cameras have large sensors and you can replace it with a telephoto lens. However, you can try using a compact camera though the results do not maximal.

Step One: Set your zoom to the maximum point

For example, if you have a lens of 18-55m, then set your lens to 55mm zoom. If you have any telephoto zoom lenses, like 55-250mm, this is even better. Use of this lens and zoom lens set to 85mm to 135mm you. Focal range is ideal for portrait photos

Step Two: Place your models as far as possible from the background

The farther the distance between the background model with the model than the distance to the camera, the more blur the background of the camera.

Step Three: Set opening / aperture of your lens as big as possible

The bigger the aperture the more blurry the background, when you have 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. So, set your aperture to f/5.6 (this is the maximum aperture at 55mm focal range.

If you are not happy with the results of 18-55mm lens, I recommend to buy a 50mm lens 85mm f/1.8 or f/1.8. Although the lens can not zoom, but a very large maximum aperture, making it more suitable for portrait photos.
