Some very basic tips:

- Get the sun off to one side or at 3/4. Not straight infront of you.
- F-stop of around F8 to ensure good depth of field.
- Lowest ISO you can get away with (ideally ISO100), for noise free images.
- Once you have locked focus try to avoid recomposing your shot before taking the picture.
- Review the shot on the camera with the histogram enabled to ensure that you've not clipped either the shadows or highlights.
- Depending on the weather, consider using a polarising filter.
- Think about your composition, don't just snap.
- If you are shooting at night then its a whole different ball-game of course; you'll need a tripod for longer exposure shots.
