Keep your tongue in your mouth!16 Quick Tips For New Photographers!
Wildflower petals
Over the weekend I asked our readers in the Your Photo Tips.com Flickr Group to provide a one sentence tip for new photographers. As you can see, we have some really fantastic people involved in our little community. One of my favorite things about the group is the wealth of knowledge and help you can attain just by getting involved.
The Flickr Group is a great place to get help with almost anything camera or photography related, whether you shoot film or digital. So if you have a question that needs a quick answer head on over to our group and ask away.
Here are 16 Quick Tips for New Photographers!

Assuming they are very new It would be “fill the frame with your subject”.
Obviously a tip that is often broken as you become more experienced but I find new photographers often leave lots of dead space in their photos.

Start with a 50mm on film, and learn to walk before you zoom.

To paraphrase Rihanna, “Shut up and shoot!”

Unless you are in a situation where speed is of the essence, think about each shot for at least 30 seconds before you shoot. Consider your subject, how do you want to frame it, is your camera set to the best of your understanding for the shot, is it properly focused.
Read, magazines, library books, the internet. Learn all you can about photography.

When framing a shot get close, then when you think your close enough, get closer.

Take many many pictures, and don’t delete anything until uploaded on computer.

Discover depth of field – has more power than you realize.

Someday, when you least expect it, your hard drive will crash, so make sure your digital photos are always saved in more than one place.
Shoot until you’re out of card space.
These are really great photo tips! For the next few weeks I’ll be going into a little more detail on the hows and whys behind these fantastic photography tips.

Another photography tip for portraits: put the camera down 1st and talk with them. Putting your subject at ease and making them feel comfortable with you will contribute more to good images than the most expensive camera and lens you could own. Jay
As a relative beginner (I've been taking pictures for 6 months), the best advice I received was 'get close to your subject'. The difference it made to my photos was immense.
Great post! Love the advise and tips!
