1. Composition with emotion

It's easy to come up with really nice photos that deal with a basic subject in its element. However, if you want to infuse some amount of abstraction in your artistry, compose shots that evoke strong emotions, shares Alan Bohms. They say that a picture paints a thousand words. If you're up to the challenge, try taking highly captivating photos that evoke strong emotions like anger, confusion, excitement, and pain without using human subjects.

2. Photography in bad weather

Most photographers will avoid bad weather due to the obvious discomforts of taking photographs in such chaos. Interestingly, the truly passionate ones look for it. There's something that is appealing in the thought that you get to take awesome pictures with a palpable degree of difficulty, which is implicit in your output. It's tough to compose shots in bad weather, Alan Bohms says. However, if you pull it off, you may end up with some of the most amazing shots you've ever taken in your life.

3. Refining on the fly

Do you want to develop your ability to react to your environment? Train your visual sensitivity by refining your photos in the field. Your best chance to improve a photo happens in the moments after you take it, while the subject is still in front of you, and you can refine your composition. This is an exciting test of your observation skills as you look through the lens and react to the surrounding environment.
