This is more geared toward the camera on the 920 but may apply for normal usage or other phones too.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
In context we need to know our phone and its capabilities, now that’s half the battle.
About the 920 ‘s camera :
1. It’s a 8.7 mp cam with Carl Zeiss Lens plus OIS (optical image stabilization) source : Microsoft's official 920 site
and
Nokia Lumia 920 Camera
*Megapixels alone is not everything, it must come hand in hand with the lens and processing software.
2. The lens is F2 (meaning that our phone is capable of near and medium shots but not distant shots.)
3. Low light capabilities allow us to shoot in low light conditions ( and thus does better in low light but I think lacks some colors and contrast in day time shots (don't worry, we can always use apps like Fhotoroom or a filter to make it better) P.s : Even the 930 and 1520 are not very good with low light from what I've seen.
Included are some tips that i have gathered from around the internet,
some are in pdf format because I wanted to read it offline instead of loading the page every time. The links within the pdf still work AFAIK (as far as i know).
Here is a well written article on using the 920's camera

If you need more just google or do a YouTube search. I'm sure there are a few out there.
Use a tripod.
It helps with stabilization for macro shots , blur-less pictures and long exposure shots (google to see some examples of long exposure)
I'm yet to experiment with this and would be trilled if someone can fill this in.
I did however try without a tripod. Do refer to the included picture (its called light trails) but its not a very good shot since its kinda blurry.
(Update) Tried a few with a cheap tripod and here are the results.
(Shot with Lumia Camera , the one with Manual settings)Caught #Flash (the superhero) and his relatives around Kuala Lumpur. Too fast for the naked eye ~
Used 4 seconds long exposure to get this.
Not entirely satisfied though, will try again when there are more cars. I personally like the blue tinge on the right (i like to to think it as Flash's cousins)
Also discovered the local red light district (where the hanky panky is negotiated and later takes place)
Remember, the focus is vehicle lights, not the sky or other things in general.
Here are a few examples when too much light gets into the picture, making it look bad.

serves as the golden rule. One more shot to prove it.
I took a few shots but didn't give me a satisfying look of KLCC so i went around and shot it again, probably my 3rd shot and got this, Because one doesn't always get a shot of KLCC and the moon right? 
(Used HDR inverse filter)Something we, the newer gen don't get to see much
(Filtered with Time filter)Go out and experiment, try something new or do some research. All the best guys.
Hope this can help you guys out. Do feel free to give me feedback or correct me if there are any mistakes here.

) the Destruction of the 920 by phonebuff shows how solid it is (with the exception of some not so solid units of course). In the end its up to you, honestly ill hold on until the next phone with Windows 10 is launched.
