Thank you saudade!
There are many tips on PHOTOGRAPHY from different people and places and if you keep asking, you can compile them into a dictionary or atlas haha.
But here’s just one from me. You dont have to be technically skilled. You dont have to own a fancy bling bling camera. You dont have to have so called ‘talent’.
All you need, is just to know if your photographs were straight from the heart. What i’m saying is. Sometimes people go out everyday, non-stop, just to take photographs. They are just hungry for THAT fabulous picture. Just like fishing, where you go everyday everyweek just hoping you would catch something. But then a day would come when you realize that you had been just photographing for the sake of it. It didnt matter if you had the mood, if you had an idea, you were just dragging yourself or your camera out to ‘improve your photography’.
I think one should pick up a camera, leave their house to photograph, only when they feel like it. It doesnt matter if the photographs come out brilliant. But at least you know you experienced joy in making them and that it was all honest photography, and not trying your best regularly to ‘improve’ your photography.
This way, i assure that you would gain satisfaction from your photographs, be it technically or visually brilliant or not. Isn’t that the most important thing? =) And who knows, your photographs WOULD improve overtime!
