Check your image and histogram after taking the shot.
Remember, its the photographer not the equipment.
Speak from experience.

Endeavor to do better.
Be your worst critic.
Think that those great shots you see can come be yours with time.
Accept any comment people make about your shots.
Backup your images.
Never
Take comments as a personal attack.
Stop improving.
Be afraid to ask!
Rely blindly on your camera’s meter. It is sometimes right, and often wrong
Get depressed looking at the great shots you see on the net
Assume you got a great shot just by the way it looks on the LCD screen.
Wait for a better shot
Say “that will do”
Stop taking pictures
Stop having fun
Professional advices

Have backup material when shooting
Show only your best work
Never
Give away your work
Forget the fact that business needs supersede photographic wants
and at last my personal favorite
Never say “always” because there will always be an exception.
