June from http://www.hintsandthings.com has included some kind of help from featurePics.com

You can see this at
http://www.hintsandthings.com/workshop/stockphotos.htm

She is thinking of some general
photography tips to try to help people to achieve better photos.

Do you think FeaturePics.com Authors can help?

Just to give you a brief background; Hints and Things was sent up purely as a hobby in 2000 and currently enjoys rankings up to 6/10 on Google and receives between 9000 and 17000 unique daily visitors. It has been featured on National/Local radio and TV and has good press coverage, again both local and national including people such as Alison Cork of the Observer/Guardian.

I'm sure we can add some hints for general photography.

I am assuming she's looking for tips for amateur's who just want to take better pictures of their kids, or their gardens, etc.?

How doe we handle it - submitting/posting the tips I mean?

I have one in mind (for beginners) that is so simple it's ridiculous, but a lot of people don't even bother to do it.

Simple - it is good!
How do we handle it - we can just send an email to June...

In mean time we can make a simple page:
question/answers

and publish the answers at hintsandthings, talkmicro, and featurepics.

What do you think?

Yes, that would work Elena. I'm sure between all of us we can come up with some simple tips for the general public.

Like...

"As much as you might not like to, reading the manual together with testing the functions on your camera will give you a much better understanding of what your camera can do. Many people don't want to read through all that stuff, but learning the camera to the point where you are completely comfortable with it will improve your shooting."
