Re: Teach me something - C&C please

I think you have a wonderful photo.  If mum likes it then what does it matter whether someone else does or not.  Having said that, I appreciate that you want to improve in your photography.  That is my story as well.  This is what I did.

Got a good camera.

Took a photography course at a local community college to learn how to use my camera.

Read a few books about light and composition in photography.

Then did what my photography teacher told me.

Practise, practise, practise and then practise some more.  It doesn't cost a lot to practice with digital photography.

Then find a photographer who's work you like and look at it, ask questions and then look at his photos again.

However, the greatest bit of advice I ever received was to become obsessed with light.   I got that from an e-book from Digital School of Photography on using Natural light.

Then practise.

I am 55, purchased a camera 2 years ago and having having fun since, also in Australia.
