Tip: Use a tripod

My tip today is very simple. Use a tripod whenever possible. This will dramatically increase the sharpness of your photos. Beware though, if your lens has IS (Image Stabilization) or VR (Vibration Reduction) then you need to turn it off. If you don't, even though you were shooting on a tripod, your shots will be blurry because IS or VR goes looking for vibration right? Well, if it can't find any, it's going to look harder, creating vibration. You will be surprised at how much this will improve the quality of your shots.
