So, I’ve had the practise (it’s been nearly a year since I took up this goal), I’ve got the new camera and I’ve even managed to catch a few nice shots, but I still need to improve more.

First thing would be to learn how to use my new (used) 300D properly. I think I’ll have to leave it until after the move, but what better time and place to practise photography than in the lovely spring light in Ireland.

Also, I’ve taken Stu’s advice and looked at a few tutorials of photography and composition. I’ve so far learned about the rule of thirds, the diagonal rule and curved lines.

This list of tips and tutorials was the most appealing and the easiest to understand out of the ones I have looked so far, I thought it might help someone else here:
