   Learn about your camera !!!!

   Read your manual !!!! Read it several times, and practice in between.

   Attend a class, read some books, read/watch online tutorials.

   The major camera manufacturers (like Canon, Nikon, Olympus etc) all have very useful sections on their website for learning about photography.

   Books are all very good but there’s nothing like knowing your gear and practice, practice, practice.
   Watch what others are doing, seek out Flickr pages here on Yahoo and see if there’s anything you like.

   If you like what they’re doing learn from them then shoot, shoot and shoot some more. There’s no such thing as too much practice.

   Then, after every shoot upload and look. Critique your own stuff for focus, framing, lighting, etc., and be critical with your self. Then, go practice some more.

   I’ve been at this business, in one way or another, for 30-years and I’ll bet Nick P, another friend here on Yahoo Cameras would agree, I learn something every time I pick up the camera.

   I like this example. If you go to a concert watch the piano player. You can bet he / she didn’t start playing last night. It’s exactly the same with photography – no such thing as too much practice.

   OK, this is truth. You will not like it, but that’s ok.

   GEt a manual 35mm camera. Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s digital these days, blah blah blah. If you want to learn how your digital wonder camera works, get a manual 35 mm camera. Ask around. I am sure one of your friend’s parents have one.

   Then buy the “Kodak’s guide to 35mm photography.” It will tell you everything you need to know.

   Then go spend $1200 on a dslr (that will be obsolete in 18 months.) But you will actually know how to use it.

   I ignored this advice for two years. Then I just did it and know I get it. Photography isn’t hard, it’s complicated.
