Always reset the camera settings
Avoid checking, redo all the settings before moving from one image to the next picture.
There are few things worse than taking what you think is a stunning image, only to find the camera ISO and saturation that rotate the top right of the previous shot and you have lost today.
Format, do not delete
So always format your card to minimize any risk of data corruption.
Update firmware
Firmware is the software in the cameras used for image processing, setting various parameters and even control what features are available for you. Check your camera manufacturer's website to ensure your DSLR firmware is as up to date as possible.
Charge your battery
Do not assume your camera batteries fully charged - make sure it is. Filled before you go out so you are sure there is enough life in it, and invest in a battery backup if you regularly find yourself shooting beyond its capacity.
Set the image size
Often times you will shoot at the highest resolution your camera offers, regardless of what you are photographing. But do you always need to? Sometimes a smaller image size may be all you need, and reduce the resolution not only means more pictures will fit on a memory card, but you can achieve a faster rate shot, too. If sports is photography, reducing the resolution will help you avoid late as a buffer to clean your camera.
File formats: RAW, JPEG or both?
If you intend to perform manipulation or retouching, RAW shooting is often the best solution to increase its bit depth. However, the larger RAW files, so it takes much longer to handle a camera, and you also need to process before it can be printed. JPEG files, on the other hand, are processed in the camera when shooting, so you can print or share with immediately, and you'll find that you can shoot longer consecutive frames at a faster rate. For the choice, though, and when speed is not important, why not shoot them? SLR gives you this option, and you can then decide what you want to do when you're back on your computer. Just make sure you pack an extra memory card.
Experiment with the settings
When they're not working on a task, professional photographers spend a lot of time testing. It can test the new lens to determine the aperture or focal length that do best at; testing of the ISO and white balance to see an option that gives the best results, or even test the dynamic range so that you know the limitations of the sensor. You can do exactly the same with your SLR, so you know exactly where the strengths and weaknesses lie. This is not about finding the perfect picture - just experimenting with your kit for better understanding, or trying a new technique that you can apply at a later date.
Do not skimp on the tripod
A good tripod is worth its weight in gold, so do not be tempted by the budget option. Pay £ 20 and it will not last you long, or do its job properly. Digging deeper for a decent tripod and will give you many years of service, making it a long term investment that makes sense. And do not forget to take it with you, either ...
Hand-held or tripod mounted?
The simple act of setting up a camera on a tripod will slow you down, and this can be enough to make you concentrate a little harder on what you are photographing and what you hope to achieve. At the same time, you lock the camera down for every shot you take can reduce your spontaneity, so do not be afraid to mix it up from time to time. If you use a tripod religion, leave without it and see what happens, and if you usually travel without one, take it with you to see how slow itself down affect the results you get.
