Photography is a combination of technical and artistic skills and decisions. It is very easy to make a mistake that throws an entire image off. The video in this article covers 13 common mistakes photographers make and offers some useful tips to avoid or fix them.
This useful video comes from Nigel Danson and contains more than 13 common mistakes we all make from time to time, as well as what we can do to prevent or fix them.
One useful tip for me was not accidentally leaving the wrong settings on your camera. I photograph many different things that often require very different settings. I would often start the next shot, only to realise that I had left the camera on the settings from the previous one.
When I looked back at my photos, I realised that something wasn't right. I simply made it a habit to check my settings carefully when I first switch my camera on. Eventually, you end up checking everything: lens switches, battery, memory cards, and so on.
It is a good habit that you can develop. Watch the video above for more useful tips from Danson, and share any mistakes you have made yourself and how you solved them.
