I take a ton of pictures at various events, both industry related and local. I am a terrible photographer, so I'll have to upgrade my camera soon and take along your tips! Thanks for the suggestions.

That is the thing with digital cameras. It is easy to develop bad habits and hope you get lucky and one of them comes up. Great comment Adam.

Meaning, when you have been out and taken 200 shots it is unlikely that your audience wants to see every single one of them. Be a ruthless editor and remove anything you wouldn't hang on your wall, four shots at a slightly different angle of exactly the same thing is boring, pick the best and delete the other three. It is tough to do, but it improves not only your photography (as you learn to not press the shutter unless you are sure), but also everyone else's opinion of your work. Win win baby!
