If possible use the viewfinder instead of the LCD screen. Steady your arms against your body or rest them on a steady surface. Don't talk or breathe while you push the shutter release. Use the right shooting mode on your camera (see your owner's manual). Avoid shooting in low light whenever possible. Shoot outside whenever you can. When shooting indoors turn on lamps and move subjects closer to them. Be careful about distracting things in the background, especially telephone poles "growing" out of your subject's head. Sometimes moving a few inches can make a big difference. Shoot from unusual angles. Get down low or up high. Fill the frame with your subject. Keep your horizons straight, especially if there is water in your picture. Try to keep the sun beside or behind you. It's better to shoot outdoor subjects early in the day or late afternoon when the sun is lower and gives softer shadows and a nice warm look. Portraits turn out best using indirect light, such as through a north facing window. If the sun is in the window pull the curtains to soften it. For best quality avoid using the digital zoom.
