grab your viewer's attention!
the first and most important tip ~ take a lot of pictures, then get rid of most of them!
have you ever been looking at a friend's scrap book or slide show, then found yourself yawning after a few minutes? ten minutes after that you decide that sitting in the dentist's chair having a root canal would be more fun than looking at these pictures! this is because most amateur photographers save every single picture. don't do this ~ save only the quality pictures and toss out (delete) the rest. what's left will be much more interesting then what you started with. typically, i discard 50% ~ 90%
