This web page has several professional photographers and they each have their own suggestions on how to take better pictures. It is a little bit more advance, but I thought it was a useful web site:

5 Tips for taking better photos

When it comes to photography, I’m nowhere near professional but I’d like to think I’m a step above amateur. Here is what I’ve learned in my quest to become a better photographer:

Have the camera ready and snap it quick

My number one frustration is not capturing a fleeting moment. If the opportunity for a great photo is imminent, have the camera powered up and ready before the moment has passed.

Don’t be afraid to get down and dirty

Sometimes getting close to a subject may invade his or her personal space (or yours), but the result is often a better photo. Don’t rely on the zoom to capture something from far away.

Switch up your angles

One of the first lessons I learned some years ago is photos don’t have to be shot straight on all the time. Tilt the camera or find a different perspective that is interesting to the eye. (Thank you Valerie Soe, wherever you are.)

Look for the unusual

If a fire is happening, its easy to start taking pictures of just the flames, but the real story is what is happening around the fire. Find those interesting, human moments that tell the story behind the tragedy or triumph.

I recently posted a question on here asking which of 4 shots from a webcam people liked better.
I seemed to get alot of comments saying that the pictures looked really poor quality and didnt make me look as good as I really am.
so now Im wondering how do you take good pictures using a webcam ? like so they look good quality and dont look as if a webcam took them.
