    You need to find a photographer that inspires you and check out their work. You need to read up on composition and lighting. Those are the 2 most important things. And take plenty of pictures. Read plenty of books, study photos and magazines. I have a degree in photography and I am constantly reading photo magazines and books. It's what inspires me to be better and to keep going. Be patient. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was a good photographer. Although some people do have a natural eye, I unfortunately wasn't one of them and I have had to work hard to get where I am at.

    Actually, that is an main project/possibility for you which works past pictures. This is a drawback which might repeat itself oftentimes in years to come, in a single kind or yet another. Since you like pictures, you will have to now not permit any one else to wreck your leisure of it. That takes controlling your possess ideas and feelings concerning this trainer. You must make a mindful attempt to revel in your pastime in spite of this drawback. I could endorse you investigate the library for the guide "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People." Its studying may also be difficult, however it explains those ideas.
