Earlier we asked our readers in the Your Photo Tips.com Flickr Group to give us some of their best one sentence photography tips and we had a great response! For this last and final tip I’ll be elaborating, in my own words, what those photo tips mean to me and how they can help you become a better photographer. So if you missed the original post you can find it at 16 Quick Tips For New Photographers.

Shoot More To Be A Better Photographer

Bill Konway gave a perfect little tidbit to finish off this series


Shoot until you’re out of card space.

There isn’t much more I can add to that bit of wisdom.  It’s mostly common sense.

The more you practice photography, the better photographer you will become.  Shoot a lot of images.  Fill those memory cards up with creative and thought provoking scenery and don’t stop until you’ve reached your limit.

Just don’t forget to take some spare memory cards with you, you know, just in case!

Thanks to all of our readers at the Your Photo Tips Flickr Group! I really enjoyed doing this series and will probably do something similar in the future. If you would like to see your content or images on Your Photo Tips then join the Flickr Group today (it is free after all).

Excellent photograph. And a good tip - especially for beginners switching from film. Gone are the days where you need to consider the cost of processing - just keep shooting!

I think this is the most common thing for any profession is the experience. The more you shoot the more you get the experience.

Everyone has a few hundred (or thousand) crappy photos in them. It's best to get them out of the way as early as possible.
