Good point CW! There are techniques in framing and composing shots that can be learned to create good images. As you mentioned, changing your vantage point (sometimes just a step) can totally change your photo. If you're someplace where there isn't room to move around much, I scrunch down or stand on tiptoes or lean to change my perspective.

I think the eye tends to look at the subject and I taught myself to look around the entire viewfinder/viewscreen and try to notice my backgrounds.

Also it can help I think to learn the elements of composition of art (line, shape, space etc.) so you can learn over time how to use those elements to get well composed photos.

Learn by doing - your mistakes teach you as much as your successes
Get used to shooting during the "golden hours" at dawn and just around sunset
Practice, practice, practice if you want to get good at photography
Remember to engage brain before putting mouth in gear

Don't be afraid to post your photos for some feedback. There are lots of good people here with lots of good advice! You will learn so much more from feedback on your photo, than you will by simply reading or watching. Particularly if you're new!! :)

Take feedback positively instead of like you're being attacked. :thumbsup:

In the "old days" of film, which I still shoot, practice was a bit limited by your budget, and the fact that you had to wait to see your photos! With digital, you get instant feedback!!!!!!!! That doesn`t mean you just shoot and hope for the best!!!!! You still need to perfect your "eye" for your subject! Good luck, and lets see those shots!!!!! ;) :thumbsup: :cheers:

This ones so far one of the best tip. I am sometimes afraid of how I would be taking the photos because mainly of something that can be dangerous. And in the end, an opportunity to capture a very nice photo is lost. Thanks for reminding me this!

They'd ask you to buy a proper DigiSLR, But when I did my course, I worked on a Fully Manual 35mm Camera.

A word of warning, although his method of teaching is good, I'd recommend you take it with a pinch of salt.

Pop up the flash if you are shooting into the sun and don't want silhouettes.
