Weather plays a very important factor in a photo. Don’t take a cloudy morning for granted. Sometimes can look better without all the brightness of a midday sun.
Obviously your subject is your main concern in a shot, so don’t hesitate to take your time to carefully pick your subject, as well as its surroundings.

Dull-colored subjects can be just as beautiful as bright ones. Think about a stream surrounded by snow in a cold morning. Remember to always use your imagination.
Try over-exposing your subject once in a while to see what you get. But this is not good to keep doing.
If you would like the picture to have a blurry appearance, try to slow the shutter speed of your camera and increase the F-stop. While you take pictures move your camera.
Macro photography can be very exciting and endless. With your camera, try to focus on an insect, for example, through a magnifying glass. If you like the results there are countless subjects out there for you to shoot.
Experiment with patterns by shooting images with similar colors and shapes. For example, gather a bunch of maple leaves in the fall take a close-up photo. You can also try with a photo where the subject and the background have similar tones.
Give your photo a wet look by spraying a window with water and then taking your pictures through the wet glass, focusing on an outside subject.
Because silhouettes don’t have a wide range of colors, you can get very unusual and attractive results. To get a nice effect you need your background to be brighter than your subject.
Contrasting colors can produce a very striking photograph, specially when you have complimentary colors. Try to imagine a little girl in a white dress standing on a very green grass field.
Even if you are not a morning person, make the effort one day and go out photographing before sunrise. You will be amazed by the variation between light and shadows. You also have to be fast, since there is not enough time between sunrise and the time when the sun is high and you have too much light.
Sunrise is better than sunset!
Wake up before sunrise one day and go on a photography expedition. If you’ve not done it before you’ll be pleasantly-surprised by the contrasting light and shadows. But remember you’ll only have a very short window of time in which to shoot (usually less than an hour) before the sun rises too high and you lose the light.
Whichever tip you want to experiment with, do it with passion and don’t be afraid to try new and unusual ways. And because photography is an art, every photo that you take will be unique and special.
