Well, general articles like how to take better photographs or specific tricks and tips to non-DSLR cameras? I mean, most of the articles here seem to relate more to DSLR than the non-DSLR cams. But of course, I guess I can always try to google for them lah ah.
well, there are basic things about photography that one should know, be it he/she using a DSLR or non-DSLR, P&S, etc.
1) know your gear inside out. a lot of folks just grab the camera, set it to auto mode and shoot. well, an advantage of digital cameras is that you can try different settings and see instant results. remember auto doesn't work all the time.
2) don't blame the gear for lousy photos. cameras are stupid things. they can only work off a fixed set of rules. you as the photographer on the other hand have total control on how, what, when, where to shoot. learn and understand the basics of composition, exposure, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, etc. IMHO, and i've said this before, technique will always outshoot gear.
3) it really doesn't matter what kind of gear was used to take the photograph. if you look closely enough, you'll notice that what's more important is how the photographer took the picture. the process of taking good pictures starts from your mind, not from the camera. the picture is the end result of this process.
it helps to keep in mind that some of the greatest pictures of our time were taken with non-DSLRs.
enjoy and keep shooting.
