Random NX20 photos (18-55mm, 30mm, 45mm, 60mm lenses)
4

I haven't been formally trained in photography; mostly self taught, reading and a lot of trial and error (OJT).  I wouldn't consider myself an amateur, just a hobbyist so don't shoot me :).  Looking for some tips to get better at shooting in general, framing and post processing.  All of these photos were edited in Lightroom 5.  I do have Photoshop CS5 as well, although I don't use it as much.  I also shoot more objects than people but would like to get better in that area.  Any and all advice is welcomed.  On a side note, does anyone have a clue why my 18-55mm III lens always shows a focal length of 19mm (exif data) when I am fully zoomed out to 18mm?  Thanks in advance!

Honestly.. I always recommend Kelby One subscription. It's what I used.

Duplication is good too... find photos you like and try to reproduce it.

Read/watch every youtube video you can find on the types of photography you want to do.. and see what they all do.. (because someone will say always do one thing that others will say never do.. just ignore that... and watch what they actually do)

Shoot Shoot Shoot. The more you shoot the better you'll get, if you are honest about your photos and think about them after, and decided which ones you like, and what you didn't to get them

The Snail I like it's the best of the group to me... I like the Prom picture and the spiral though too.

I'm not a pro, but everything I do know comes from what I suggested above.

My favorite was the rail tracks.
