1) Fill the frame with your subject
2) Don't put the main subject in the dead center of your shot
3) When shooting people, from a semi profile, leave more room on the side they are facing.
4) Ignore these rules when it makes a better composition or tells a better story

In this digital world we tend to take lots of pictures and hope for the best. Try thinking like you were shooting film instead and pay more attention to details of composition, exposure, etc.

Shoot with what you really see rather than what you are looking at at the moment.

I say "start paying attention to light...even when you don't have a camera in your hand". I found that when I started thinking of how to expose an image constantly, it became easier to expose properly when I was trying to capture an image.

Shoot what you love. Not what someone else thinks you should shoot. Not what the "cool" people shoot. Shoot what you're passionate about.

Double check your composition and check the edges before you shoot! (This assumes the advisee knows something about composition).

Based on some recent experience, if you are shooting multiple frames to make a panorama; shoot something odd (your foot or hand maybe) to mark the start of the sequence. Then do another at the end. It makes it much easier to sort out the pics when you are post processing later.

Here's my tip. Read, watch videos, search the internet, be self-reliant, and practice practice practice. Don't expect others to do your research for you. It's always good to ask specific questions on forums if you are confused about something you read or something you're trying out, but asking questions on photography websites should never be your primary source of learning.

I think that if someone approached you for advice on a trail that they would be looking for an answer to solve a particular problem. I'd help them if I could. In big terms I might remind them that everything in the frame is part of the picture so they should look to the background and the corners before tripping the shutter.
