Question: Am I any good at photography!?
first of all, I'm like the beginner of all beginners!. I just got a camera for my birthday, which was only 2 days ago and i've always had an interest in photography!. now that I have a camera, my friend and I went for a walk and I snapped some photos and did a little editing!. I think they're good, but I like to have second opinions!.

It's entirely too early to tell!

A couple of interesting compositions!.

Here's an idea: Go out and take about a thousand photos!. Make notes about EVERY one of them - time of day, light, shutter speed, aperture, etc!.

Do not do ANY "editing!." (That's what you learn to do AFTER you learn to take decent photos, not at the same time!.)

Now, sit down and study every shot!. Read your notes!. Pay attention to how and why certain things turned out the way they did!.

Then !.!.!. you'll be on your way to becoming a good photographer!. and if you have some natural talent, maybe a great one!.

It takes Years! Not days or weeks !.!.!. but YEARS!

Nobody learns anything about photography or editing by trying to learn both skills at the same time!. And if you don't get the photography thing right first, all the editing skill and/or tricks in the world won't save a lousy photo!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some i liked, and i some i thought were just fun shots ( which there's no harm in taking ) When i go out with friend, and i take photographs, they aren't going in my portfolio, unless i plan it out, and make it as creative as i can!. However, i don't post images i take for fun, because they aren't my best work, and they were just for fun!. We all take fun photographs, but we need to know the difference!.

However, some were creative and artistic, but for the most part, they were just fun shots!. Just go outside, get our more, plan what you're going to shoot, and you'll get better photographs!. Look for bees lodged in flowers, and dragonflies, it doesn't have to be difficult!. Take some portrait and landscape photos!. You have potential!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I definitely see potential there!. I see that you are trying some more unusual angles and viewpoints which is a very positive sign!.

I would advise you to read a good book on basic digital photography!. Simon Joinson has done some good ones for beginners!.

Good luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
