Here are some tips on how to make the best quality photo with a good or bad camera.

You can get a better picture by getting close to your subject. Getting up close gives you a better focus, and blocks out background distractions. Small details such as the unique colors in your subject's eyes, or a cute dimple are lost when you are too far away from the person.
Be careful when packing cameras. The correct way to pack is to make sure to bring along enough lenses, spare batteries, and accessories you need to clean your camera. You should only take what you will use.
Move around your subject from different angles finding different positions. Take the picture of the object from above, below or in a weird angle. Right before you take the shot do not move and hold your breath. By doing so you're decreasing the chance of a blur and ruining the shot. When you are taking a picture try to be creative by putting an object near something it usually would never be around, giving the object a different size and background will make it unique and stand out.
Above all, photography is an art meant to be enjoyed. Taking photographs should allow you to capture the memory event in your life. If you are enjoying this world, it is much more likely that you will love it and master the skills and become a master in photography.
