The question of how to take good pictures is one that comes up frequently, regardless of skill level or the gear being used.  We all want to take good pictures for various reasons. Some want to use photos to document their daily lives, some want to use photos to document kids, family and pets. Others want to use photos to showcase their business, products or work or even document travel and nature. Regardless of what you want to do, have a basic understanding of photography and your camera is key to taking good pictures.
