10 Digital Photography Tips

New York Times' David Pogue offers 10 of the best tips I've come across for better digital photography in his article: Less Cursing, Better Pictures: 10 Suggestions. Here's a taste:

* Extend the camera’s battery life by turning off the screen display and use the old-fashioned viewfinder.
* Pre-focus action shots by “half-pressing” the shutter to bring the camera into focus before your kid jumps in the pool.
* Turn off digital zoom. It only gets you grainy photos. You’re better off using optical zoom on a high-quality picture setting and cropping the photo in an image editor on the computer after the fact.
