I found this section in this website that gives great tips on taking photos. Thought you may like to check it all out.
Here's a sample:

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS:

Blur the Motion

One approach to motion photography is to use a slow shutter speed (try 1/15 second or less) and a tripod. This technique allows you to create a colorful blur of a subject in motion, like a kayaker moving through waves or a mountain biker pedaling through lush forest.

Slow shutter speed is also useful in landscape photography when you want to capture the blur of a stream, waterfall, or other moving water.

Shoot at Sunrise and Sunset

Professional photographers know that the best time to take pictures is in the hours just before and after sunrise and sunset. Why? The light is at its most dramatic. It lacks the harsh contrasts of midday sun. Low light can be used to evoke a special mood and feel.

Try Different Angles

Think about how you would normally photograph a scene. Then shoot it in an entirely different way.

Come up with surprises. Once you start doing that, you open your mind up to new possibilities. You’ll come back with more interesting and creative photos.

Thanks for the tips...

Here's mine: TAKE PICTURES!

I've been 'sans camera' for a while and I'm finding a dearth of photos for events over the last year. Somehow most family members forget to forward the ones they took.
