I read an article about two years ago. And it became my #1 rule. Never show anybody your bad pictures. If you want people to (think) you are a good photographer. Go through your pictures and throw away the bad ones. Edit your good ones and when done show those pictures. Take 100 pictures and show your family the five good ones Ha Ha Ha
Or at least if you show them your bad ones, only show them the ones you can PROVE that you took with a bad camera when you first started out, and put them next to your premier photos now. The contrast can really be dramatic.

, okay for those that don't like no stinking rules let's say guidelines or suggestions. I like simple so my gray matter {such as it is} can get it's folds around it so I go with " A interesting subject is vital". Please share with us what you think as the one or two things you try to keep in mind everytime you snap a photo. Thanks.
Always back up your original files in their pristine condition (some people say backup to two different mediums) and never edit them.

Yes I do the same. I also show before and after pics if I am trying to show someone the benefits of a new program, or upgrade.

I added the coke vs pepsi to see if anyone was outhere. besides we all know its coke :idea:
Actually, blindfold the person and pinch their nose closed. Then test 7-Up vs. Coke vs. Pepsi and be amazed. I sat in a college class of about 800 people and watched person after person not being able to distinguish a thing. It was just to make the point of the importance of site and smell in the food experience.

The First Golden Rule: Know the Rule of Thirds in composition.
The Second Golden Rule: Edit your shoot. Best, only, counts.

Not to be contrary but to compliment, the person conducting that test is somewhere a tad short of being a wizard - by 6th grade many of us, if not most, down in Arkansas, about 51st on the list of states for education, were aware that we only taste 4 things, sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Everything else with food is smell and the eyes only play the minor role of allowing you to keep your green beans away from your yellow corn.
Of course if you block off the sense of smell, you would only sense the wetness, the fizz and the sweetness. Not sure how that escaped the folks of LA all the way up to college with CA being "the trend setting state" that it is, but I find it interesting. Thanks. Now back to the thread at hand. Sorry! I just felt a need to act on behalf of the "Hijack Sheriff." I guess he's on vacation. :-) Bobbee, are ya listenin'?

Wear comfortable shoes. If your feet hurt, you can't do anything else either.

Pops into my head.
Background, foreground, subject! (Clean it up people, the scene that is)
Wait that's too many.

Well that makes the basics for a successful photo vs one that just sucks... lol
So I think it counts as one bundled tip. ;)
