PCPhoto magazine has some good advice for photographers looking to take better pictures. Their "10 Top Digital Camera Shooting Tips" are written from the viewpoint that it's better to shoot the image right rather than try to clean up bad photography in Photoshop. The article advises to be wary of underexposure (and overexposure), avoid increasing noise, minimize banding, expose to use the whole tonal range of your sensor, shoot sharp, think ahead, and plan shot composition. The article also warns that RAW is no substitute for shooting it right.
