    Make camera your best buddy

    Your camera should be your best buddy. Since the camera you use to take pictures helps you earn money or makes you happy as a hobbyist, it needs to be treated like your best friend. Take it everywhere you go. If you carry the camera with you all the time, you can take lots of random pictures.

    For instance, if you are going out to dinner, take the camera along and you might get a chance to take a photo  of something unique and unusual.
