The following are tips provided by professional photographer Jeff Dorgay that will hopefully help you get the most out of your digital photography experience:

1. Take two of everything (three if you have the space). I can't tell you how many times I have been on location over the years and something fails, whether it's batteries, cords, 1GB microdrives, etc. Fortunately, an Olympus camera has never let me down, but I always take a spare for piece of mind.

2. Be patient and shoot as close to the end of the day as possible. For me, whether I'm taking pictures of a bride or a Ferrari, there is that last 10 minutes of the day that the light is just magic and it takes discipline to be prepared for that perfect moment.

3. Buy a copy of Nik Color Efex Pro® and Sharpener Pro®. These are the absolute best add-ons to Photoshop® and will give your shots that extra bit of color and contrast that you just can't get any other way. They are expensive, but they eclipse anything I have ever worked with.

4. Trade in your laptop for one with a CD burner and make backups while you are on location. Make two while you are at it and consider this your "film". While obvious, this is another great piece of mind move.
