Post your best photograph

Secluded tour of the Great Wall, I miss travelling :/

Oh wow! Thank you!

I'll be completely honest and say that it comes with time. So long as you have an eye for what can make a good photograph (subject, composition, angle etc.) you have all the tools you need to take good photographs!

Just grab a camera and explore! There's so much out there, and when/if you dive into the world of macro photography everyday objects become whole new experiences.

If I was to give advice to anyone it would be to practice a lot, get to know your camera and figure out what kind of photography you enjoy the most. Then all you need to do is go out and experiment. It really does come naturally after a while.

You need to be comfortable with your camera, to the point where it becomes an extension of you. Play about with different settings if you have an SLR (aperture/shutter-speeds etc.) and ideas will start to blossom inside your head.

Thankyou So Much! Seriously Appreciated (:

One thing I forgot to mention is take as many photographs as you can. So long as you have a sufficiently large memory card keep snapping away because it's all too easy to miss the moment. A lot of great photographs involve perfect timing, and in all honesty it's near impossible to achieve at will.

So take as many as you can whilst you can, because you can always delete them later but once a moment passes it's gone forever.

I disagree partly.

Just 'firing' continuously can be quite impedimental when it comes to developing 'the eye' - rather just take your time, think about composition, the light etc. The 'I can take as many pictures as I want and decide later' mentality makes you not spend a second thought on what you're doing and that you actually shouldn't!

This of cause doesn't apply to certain situations involving moving objects etc.

No worries

Best of luck! Hope to see some images from you soon!

Thats very true, it took me a while to notice that. I'm more into fantasy photography. I take still photos of for instance romantic elements and edit away (:

Alright.

I'm fairly new to DSLR Photography so don't hurt me Should I start using Flickr?

You're photos are also a stunner! Like how do you go buy getting such detail? (:

It took time, time to grasp the skill.

I use a DSLR (Nikon D90 for first three images, Nikon D50 for fourth) alongsid 50mm f/1.8, 18-55mm, 70-300mm and 24-70mm lenses.

Learning things like aperture, shutter speeds and ISO really helped me, and I also shoot in RAW so that the image preserves all the data it captures.

I edit using Adobe Lightroom 3, I don't do much to my images but editing definitely helps.

This is Amazing!!
