Now my "photography"
Here are some tips.
Focus on having fun
Loosen up and find humor. Often the best pictures occur when something silly happens behind the scenes. Then your subject laughs or gives a funny expression, which results in a masterpiece you can cherish for years to come.
Get closer
Try to get within 2–4 feet of your subject. You want to have 90 percent person and 10 percent background in your picture. Get close even when it’s uncomfortable. This is where you get the best photographs.
Cut the clutter
Nothing ruins a photo like stray objects that detract from your composition. If there’s a phone wire, an aluminum can, or anything else that isn’t part of your picture’s focus, then eliminate it.
Try a new angle
Consider using a different angle. Get a little creative. Get down on the ground and look at your subject from a different perspective. Nobody is using a stopwatch, so take your time to find the best viewpoint.
Consider composition
For an image to be successful and meaningful, it needs to be composed correctly. Do whatever you can to guide the gaze of the viewer toward your subject. And don’t be afraid to experiment! If your subject isn’t in the best position, have them move around until you achieve the best composition.
Find the right lighting
Turn off your flash. Using a flash destroys your pictures and gives faces a harsh and unnatural look, like deer caught in the headlights. To get a more flattering tone and higher quality, use natural light. Have your subject sit sideways next to a window or door reflecting the bright midday sun…indirect light makes soft and beautiful pictures. It also makes one side of your subject's face light and the other shadowed, which creates strong emotion and mood.
Take more pictures
Most of us are frugal when it comes to taking pictures. But with a digital camera, you can simply delete the pictures you don't like, so snap away! Fill the entire picture card with one subject. You are sure to find a few pictures that will thrill you.

Creative. Just plain having more sunshine will produce better pictures. Get something with an adjustable lens so that you can get some depth of focus on your perspective stuff. Good work nonetheless.

Ideal shooting conditions are just after sunrise and just before/after sunset. You get great light and can pick up tones of a car or person much better than under direct sun light.
