any tips? where to find some?

[blacknightteg]

alright as most of you know, unless you havent seen my thread. i recently got a canon xs slr. i had been wanting to get one for a while. almost got a nikon but went back to getting a canon at the end of the day.

anyways. what i am wandering is what are some good places to get tips on certain shots and what have you. im more then happy to get hints and tips from people on here. but i would also want some from 3rd party and what have you. thanks if you know any!

Just add a border and watermark your stuff with "another dude with a camera photography" then everyone and maybe even yourself will be calling yourself a professional then

People can't improve while listening to and working with people will less experience than themselves. They need to go to and listen to the big dogs, get torn to pieces, pick themselves up and keep going just using it as motivation to improve.

This is true, no sugar coating it

i wish nemesis still posted here frequently. he told it like it was.

[CHADbee]

i have quit giving CC to people here, it always turns into drama :lmao:

as far as tips go.....

http://digital-photography-school.com/

that site helped me alot when i was a super n00b instead of a normal n00b. also get on PHOTOGRAPHY forums and beg to have your photos ripped apart. tell people to be really harsh on you and hold nothing back.

im starting off in the camera game and will purchase a nikon D60, so be ready to see my pics

great forum...mainly canon users...they have a subforum just for C&C and even if you're just posting people will point out what you could have done to make it even better!

[blacknightteg]

thanks guys. and no CC is not bad. with me. i dont mind it at all. but at the same time. im not looking to be a crazy photographer, and as long as i am happy with the pics. shouldnt that be all that matters? i mean i just started too. tips and cc are definetly welcome though.

[mister_ej2]

if all you're looking for is for you, YOURSELF, to be happy with the pics then yes that should be all that matters....

[blacknightteg]

pretty much. i just wana take pictures to take pictures. not to make everyone think im the shit cause i can take pictures well. lol thanks for the tips though man. i dont ever comment on anyones pics on this site. if i do its about the car. trust me. even some of the pro photogs pics on here, the pics i see from them sometimes suck in my opinion. but what do i know, im just an newb

[Jaimecbr900]

Opinions are like......well, we all know that saying. It's true.

Shoot pictures for yourself, push yourself, and listen to those who's pics you like. It's pretty simple. Don't make it any more difficult than it has to be. Go out and play with it, then sit down and learn from your pics. In this forum, 99% of the pics posted will get the par-for-the course "great pics" even if they're not at all. What do you learn from that, other than people lie? Nothing. Go check out some photography only forums and you'll see what some mack daddy shots look like.


Also, there are lots of books readily available. Pick some up and read about it. Even if you pick up some tricks, advice, or just regular knowledge it all helps.


Good luck and have fun. It's an expensive hobby, but fun sometimes.
