Oh Dear! I can’t find my camera anywhere and it is driving me nuts. Of course, everywhere I look there is a picture just waiting to be captured.

How to become a better photographer
It made me
Proud!
 "I just practiced and practiced!"
How I did it: I started off taking pictures of everything, which produced some OK pictures. Then I would really look at what I was taking pictures of and find out what it was that was worth photographing. Once I was able to find the beauty in every subject it became really easy. I really knew I had become a better photographer when I took over 200 pictures of my last vacation and didn't delete any of them! Lessons & tips: Just keep practicing and take pictures of things you really like at first. Flowers and nature are always good to photograph.

I said yes to every job etc. When your business is photography I guess you have to be able to shoot through any situation that is going on in your life, I've managed to shoot good / great work through the last 6 months of emotional he… Read how I did it…

2. Through the window peeping!
5 days ago
This shot was taken inside a building at the Shelburne Museum, Shelburne, Vermont. The Autumn leaves give a hint of the time of year and the window panes create depth and interest. I think it looks like a painting.. But, it is indeed a photograph of the great outdoors.

Wanting to be a good photographer, don’t mind about not being a great one. But i’ve noticed that i’ve been paying much more attention to light, colour and exposure of things.
Gonna take photography A.S.A.P!! Stuck in Art just now so not too bad ;)
Another thing i recommend is for you all to start project 365, which is basically taking a picture each and every day for an entire year, by the end of it, you should be a master :D
Getting there...

I'm practicing
2 months ago
I have always love photography as a hobby but I’ve been taking it more seriously for about a few years. Still I’ve never shared my photos with anyone before because I didn’t think they were good but decided about a week ago to post them in flickr and get some feedback about my work,I still have so much to learn but like you said it’s all about practicing :)
This is one of my pics

smartstuff asks,
“All the pictures I have taken with my new camera show up online as landscapes, even though they're portraits in both my camera and my computer, no matter what program I view them in. Help?”
