Hi, I'm new here so i'll start my first post by saying hey there!

I am on the verge of launching a new website and I'm in the process of carrying out research on certain topics on which i can write articles about. One of the main focuses of the site will be digital camera news and reviews. One of the first articles i have planned for the site will be based around 10 of the most useful tricks and techniques that are used by amateur and professional photographers alike. The reason i'm posting this here is to find out what techniques photographers on these boards tend to use the most. So, Maybe you have developed your own technique or use a technique that is very well known. Either way, i would be interested to hear of your favorites to give me a base for my research. If possible could you include the name and short description of the technique?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
