1. Celebrity stanceA trick favoured by celebrities is angling one shoulder slightly towards the camera, this gives an instantly more elegant and slender look.
2. Low light
When photographing in low light, if you donò€™t want to use flash, try bumping up your ISO setting to 800 or 1600.
3. Group shots
For large group shots its worth getting sizeable photo enlargements printed up so you can be sure of seeing everyone clearly.
4. Learn from the pros

5. Correct the crop
Re-cropping an image before ordering photo prints can make all the difference between a simple snapshot and a professional looking print.
6. Always carry a camera
The first rule of photography is to always carry your camera. If you haven"t got it with you, you won"t be able to take that award-winning shot! Just one of the many reasons camera phones are so popular.
7. On an angle
Try tilting your camera at a strong angle to get a much more interesting perspective. It will give your photos a whole new look.

Seeking symmetry in your photos can be very exciting. Look for interesting examples such as reflections in lakes or puddles, or many modern buildings have reflective surfaces which are fun to play around with.

Think before you click! By waiting just a few seconds for people to either walk into or out of your shot, depending on the look youò€™re after, can make all the difference.
