1. Never leave your cameraphone at home.
Sounds simple right? But get into that habit of always having your camera available. It is always those times when you need it most when you left it behind or couldn't be bothered. Remember the best camera is the one you have with you. Thank god for smartphones!
2. Don't go looking for 'the shot'; it will find you
If you go out with the intention of 'finding some killer shots' invariably you won't. You will end up frustrated and envious of pro photographers who just seem to pull it off. Keep calm and find your flow. Put your camera down and look around. Be patient and the moment will find you.
