By Matt Embry

Have you already mastered the art of taking photos without "red-eye" syndrome? Are there some pictures that you know you should have turned out a lot better than they did? It happens to all of us, even the expert photographers.

Here are five tips to help you move from beginner to master of digital photography, whether you're using your cell phone or a point-and-shoot camera to snap shots.

Compose Scrupulously. One of the most basic digital photography tips is to concentrate on what is in the frame of the viewfinder. Fill the frame. Nothing apart from blue sky, for example, behind a single subject throws off the proportions of the photograph and decreases interest. You may turn the camera sideways to work out if a vertical photograph may have more impact than a horizontal shot of the same subject. You may try positioning your subject off to the side, instead of in the middle of the photograph.

Take Great Close up Pictures. Your digital camera has a "macro mode", consider it as a super magnifying glass. An acute close up of something similar to flower petals can bring out textures that you never knew existed, and will add excitement to your pictures. Play with this feature, you'll find lots of methods to use it to improve your photos.

Get a Tripod. Digital cameras are susceptible to blurred pictures if your hands shake even a bit. A couple of corporations produce light, transportable, inexpensive versions. Digital photography tips like this can save you hours of disappointment and preserve otherwise perfect shots.

Get Active. Take your shot from the top of a teeter-totter, off the side of the boat, or standing on your head. Thinking outside the box can really pay off in unexpected ways. You will truly get once in a lifetime shots by adding a bit of creativity to your thinking.

Take a Class. Are you continue to hungry for digital photography tips? There isn't anything like practice to boost your photography, except practice and experience gained by learning from an expert. You can find photography classes online, at your local recreation centers, and community universities.

Becoming an expert at digital photography requires time; you will not become a pro cameraman in your first week. Just keep trying new strategies every time you use your camera, and before long, your acquaintances and family will be admiring your new found talents. - 30452
