When thinking about photography, there are many things that separate good photos from bad—mode, white balance, ISO, exposure, focus, resolution—and the list goes on.  To become pro in no time, start by mastering these three basics.

Basic need for all – the camera
A good photographer can use any camera and turn out great photos, but I would recommend a DSLR camera for best results. Select a camera that has the ability to adjust shutter speed, aperture and ISO.

1. Use a polarizing filter
Buy a polarizing filter for your lens. It will help protect the lens and will also reduce reflections and improve color.

2. Rule of thirds
Imagine four lines, two horizontal and two vertical. Place your subject at the intersection of one of those lines. It is typically more pleasing to the eye.

3. Use bracketing with exposure

This is a technique where you take three images at the same composition, one at the recommended exposure, one underexposed and one overexposed.  You can then pick what works best for your shot or even blend two together in Photoshop if you like pieces of both. Most DSLR cameras even have an automatic function for this.
