Re: Newb here... General Advice
  • Practise as much as you can. Shot not looking good on the LCD? Try again.
  • Pay attention to light (the bigger the source the better)
  • Watch out for mixed light (like indoors light + sunlight), it can throw off your camera's light metering.
  • Set yourself a road to understand the basics of exposure: shutter speed, aperture, ISO.
  • Think more and more about the composition: what does the shot say to you? Would it be something that would look good framed on a wall or as a PC wallpaper?
  • And remember to have fun!

The best bokeh goes unnoticed, grasshopper.
