I havnt been able to get anything good in along while
As I've been told by my many teachers, "Don't worry about being good, don't worry about being original, just focus on doing your best."
Often when you try hard and just focus on producing a good image, you miss a lot of the things that make it really good. The creative thoughts, the silly ideas, the jokes that led up to that moment where you were standing on a table and your friend was hanging from a ceiling so you decided to grab your camera and get the shot.
Practice your basics, nail your exposures at 12 noon, in the middle of a cave, in many situations. Aim to compose shots using the rule of thirds, make interesting compositions. Try experimenting with light, and just sit there and study light coming in from your window and how it hits different objects.
You're jumping head first with what you've been doing, take your time, back up a bit, and practice so that you can take good photos all day long. Anyone can take good photos, if you want to be a photographer you have to make outstanding ones.
