I'd like to introduce you to a little series of weekly posts I will be making called 'be a better photographer'. Short and to the point, they will be easily digestible, wide ranging in practical subject matter, and focussed on making valuable improvements to your photography.

Each post will contain a tip or little wisdom that I have picked up from my own experience, or from the many excellent practitioners I have learned from. I therefore make no special claim to originality, but would like to think of the tips as somewhat off-beat and distinct from the oft-repeated advice currently on the interweb.

I am aiming at ten posts, but I may do more. I hope that a wide range of photographers can learn from them, from beginners to the more experienced.

Tip 1 coming soon, so watch this space.
