Coming to you from Mango Street, this great video tutorial talks about five common mistakes that beginner photographers make. By far one of the biggest things I’ve seen is the lack of strong focus in your image. It’s easy to see an interesting scene, but what’s pleasing to the eye doesn’t always translate into a good photograph. If you regularly find yourself getting excited in the photo moment, only to go home and be disappointed with the results, chances are you’re missing a focal point.

Is your eye immediately drawn to anything in particular or does it tend to wander a bit? If the latter, consider finding the focal point as you compose your image. Check out the video above for the full summary.
