Carry it around your neck, or in your favorite camera backpack, using a camera harness, or some other means, keeping your camera handy and ready to shoot at a moment’s notice will let you capture better shots frequently. Moreover, we never know when will the “right moment” arrive, so always be ready- just a click away.
Make Photography Your Primary Focus
Practice, Practice, & Practice. A very simple way to improve your photography. Till the time you are not able to concentrate, you won’t be able to master this profession. So the more time you can find to be behind the lens, the more you’ll be able to enhance your photography skills.
You need not worry if you don’t own a camera, take out your phone and see what you can find to photograph because making an effort to take photos every day – even just a few snaps – will help you figure things out in terms of composition, camera settings, focus and so forth. You can do this whenever you get some spare time in a day.
