3 quick lines of advice

[chuasam]

If you could give 3 quick snippets of advice to new photographers, what would they be?
Mine are :
Don't be afraid to look silly while making your pictures.
You can't take a picture with a camera you don't have with you.
Find what you really love and connect with and photograph that.

1. For landscapes, when you think you have the shot, shoot a few more. You'll be surprised how often another angle/vantage point works better
2. For those who shoot a lot of their own family, make sure to get some shots of yourself too (self timer or have someone take a shot for you)
3. Remove the lens cap

1. If you cease to learn, you cease to live
2. Don't worry if someone else doesn't like your work... the issue is whether YOU like it.
3. The answer to any question about photography is "Depends".

Hmm.. Ok.

1. Technical competence will not produce a great photograph. It is however nearly impossible to create one without it.

2. The minute you think you have nothing more to learn, sell your camera.

3. Shoot what you love

1. Shoot;
2. Shoot again; and
3. At the end of the day when you think you're finished, shoot some more.

I thought 3 was the answer to 'what do old people smell like?' This is only a silly joke, if you are disgusted by it write to Johnny Carson, care of the cemetery. That's where I heard it.

Learn to count.

study (art)
learn (photography)
practice (what you've learned)

1) Use old cameras with old sensors to prove people wrong.
2) Buy old used gear.
3) Don't become a jerk because you have learned a few things about photography.

Speak glowingly of those greater than yourself, and heed well their advice, even though they be turkeys.

Know what to kiss, and when.

Consider that two wrongs never make a right, but that three do.
