Hello,
I actually found your forum through a search engine. I just have a lot of questions and hoped some one would be kind enough to give me a few things to think about.
I know nothing about photography. (insert groans of Oh geez, bored housewife here) But I am really interested. I have registerd to take a beginners class in a few months. I've always been interested, and had ideas of what *I* thought was good, but I suppose everyone does. Anyhow, this was all intensified when I took some pictures of my new son, and posted them on a message board for moms.. I got a lot of responses "Where did you get those done!" etc.
Here comes my dopey questions:
How do you know if you have talent? Does it all come to you naturally?
The pictures I took were all posed, I set up my living room..does that make it less good? I mean.. I think my pictures were a bit better than J.C.Penneys, but how the heck do I know?
Do you HAVE to have talent lol, can you get passably good with practice?
What makes something good??
Thank you for your time, please don't bash the uninformed
