Taking photos is fun. What’s more fun, is taking great photos. Then you can really enjoy your new hobby. In this free, “online book,” I’m going to reveal how you can improve your photography. Welcome to PhotoSecrets Tips For Better Photos.

“I’d like to get better as a photographer. Can you give me some tips?”

Certainly. On April 1, 1996, I quit my “real” job as an engineer/sales manager for British Telecom and attempted to publish the first color travel guide for photographers. I realized — if the photos were going to look good printed — that my “amateur” photography had to get better. I researched travel and photography magazines, read articles, and tried to emulate the warm, colorful and friendly style of master travel photographer Bob Krist. Here’s what I learned in those first years.
