How to take better photos
How I did it: I started out taking pretty decent photos with a point and shoot camera and I realized that people liked my photos. So I got a better camera and learned the manual functions (by reading the user guide, watching dvd's that explain the features, and just by playing around with it). It's really all about practice. You can photograph anything, so when you have your camera with you practice! I recommend a class, I haven't taken one but would like to and people say that they generally learn more in a class also.
Lessons & tips: Practice! I also spent a lot of time looking at flickr.com because there are a lot of support groups that can help you figure out how to get a shot to look a certain way and what not. Very fun also. Make sure you like photography and want to put in the time to learn it!

I went through a really bad stage of not thinking about photography at all- just taking really crappy snapshots every now and then.
I can’t say my photography is where I want it to be right now, but I’ve started to think about my shots, as opposed to just randomly shooting, which is a nice change.
As for whether or not I’ll keep this up, who knows…but I hope I can keep these ideas long enough to implement them & genuinely try.

So I spent my Christmas money on buying a new Nikon D40 SLR camera, and its great. Before I was using a (crap) point and shoot camera, but with this I can definitely move on to better things. I’ve already taken many photos. The sunset photo here was taken from a moving car is proud
I’ve registered for an online class with a photographer I admire. The class starts on July 10th. Yeah!
this is the unfair part.
as a starting photographer, i will never think i’m good enough to stop learning.
but it’s ok, we all know, as time goes by, we all have to improve, right?
so i guess i’m on the right way :)
