Firstly you will have to define what you class as a great photo. I personally like a photo taken from an unusual angle of a common object. When done right it is very specky.

Second you have to define what you are using and how to use it. If you are using a film camera you will have to find the best type of film to use for the job (black and white, standard colour, extra colour or chrome type). If it is a digital then you will have to figure out the number of mega pixels you have and how far away or how close you have to be to your subject to get a good photo.

Once this is done then you can take the photo, but try not to have the subject (a car, a person, a tree) directly in the middle of your photo. if you imagine a series of lines running down and across cutting the photo into thirds try to have your subject sitting on one of the points where the lines cross.

But never forget the background, it wont matter if you take a great subject and take a photo were the background steals the viewers gaze. Always have a background that will complement the subject and not compete with it.


And lastly never underestimate the value of practise. If you have a digital take it out and just snap away at anything, anytime. If you have a film camera then buy a bunch of cheap film and use it all up just by practising. Have fun, and it will turn out good. Hope this helps.

You have to start by learning to see differently. The camera sees things you don't--until you get the picture back, that is! Eliminate common errors like poles coming out of people's heads, for instance. Learn to get the lighting right. (The most common error here is back lighting: the foreground comes out too dark.) Be aware of your surroundings; be conscious of what would make a "great" picture. And, most important, take lots and lots of pictures! It's common to take 100 or more pictures before you get one that's really good. Good luck!
