Help with photography?!?



I love photography and i want to learn how to take really good photos. any tips :S please :):)

There is so much to say on this subject, but for starters:
1) Learn to hold the camera steady - a lot of people do not realize how much camera shake affects image quality. People with digital point-and-shoots are holding the camera further away from their body (to view the LCD), unknowingly introducing a LOT of camera shake. Also, when they depress the shutter, they are moving the camera downward. Hold or brace the camera closer to the body, squeeze the camera/trigger as if your hands were a vise, and practice depressing the trigger slowly and gently. If your camera has a good viewfinder, use this instead of the LCD (if digital), this will brace the camera against your skull for a more solid base.
2) Tripod. I always say the difference between a good photo and a great photo is the tripod.
3) Wait for the good light. I always spend too much time setting up the shot that I forget to wait for the good light. The best light is early in the morning, or late afternoon to sunset. Look at what subject the sunlight is 'painting'...i.e., instead of photographing a sunset, look at what the sunset is shining on and consider that as a subject instead.
A clear sunny day is not necessarily a good thing...cumulus (storm) clouds add character; overcast provides softer light; fog/mist can add mood.

Keep experimenting and have fun!
The sun should always be behind you.

i think it would be really helpful
Hold the camera steady and center your shots . Most cameras come with tips ..or do a search for the website for your brand . Always check battery strength before an important event ; and if you are using 35 mm film..do not leave it in extreme temps .
If you really want to learn both the mechanics and the art of photography, find a local community college which teaches photography.

Taking courses there will help you avoid making mistakes and/or developing bad habits.

You will want to learn how to expose film (sensors) correctly, compose the photograph (not wasting any of the image space), design the shots (rule of thirds, using negative space, diagonals, etc) and developing the film and making prints.

These items should keep you going for a long time.

Most of all, though, have fun

Here is a link to a place where you can see what the pros are doing and you can practice seeing if you can emulate their styles.
