Okay milan, Essentially you should look into the theory of photography also, essentially if you read about composition and things like that you can immediately pick up a camera and shoot better than before, what camera do you have?

Your flower photograph I would of moved into it closer, and your second photograph is just too generic for me, I'd suggest go and have fun with your camera first, take hundreds of photos around everywhere, select around 5 of your favourites and then come back for feedback.

Good luck and congratulations in taking up photography,

From a technical aspect knowing how to use your equipment to the best of its abilities will result in well focused images with good exposure. There are many instructional videos on YouTube to help with understanding the basics of digital photography.

It would be a good idea as well to learn concepts of what make a photo interesting and appealing to look at.

Other then that you need to build you own style. understand how to use you camera to get the photos to look exactly how you want them to and use you creative mind to figure out how to position yourself and camera in relation to the subject and light to include or exclude items as well as use depth of field to isolate a subject or include more.

Photography is about always learning, i doubt many photographers would ever say they stop improving or learning new things or ways to slightly improve their skills every time out.

Congrats on the new camera. Now all you have to do is learn how to use it to the best of your ability. As others have suggested, learn to use your camera and all the functions and features that it has is a good place to start. This means go out and walk around and take images where you alter the aperture, speed, ISO, etc. As well, you need to learn about some of the basics of composition. If you Google "photography composition tips", or some variation, then you will find all sorts of references, but here is one to get you started - Guidelines for Better Photographic Composition.. There are literally thousands of others out there. Check out web sites and postings by Ron Bigelow.

For the images you have posted: 1) the background is very cluttered and this detracts from your main subject which I am assuming are the leaves in the foreground. Parts of the leaves are blown out/overexposed and you will need to understand how to get this right in camera or how to deal with it in post-processing. 2) This is a silhouette of what appears to be a raptor, but it is unidentifiable from this picture. If you want to see how bird photography is done, I would suggest you look up folks like Art Morris and Alan Murphy. If you are interested in flowers then search for Harold Davis and Denise Ippolito, in fact, if you Google "flower photography" you will find all sorts of references.

One other suggestion, find a photographer, or photographers, whose images you really like and study them closely. Try and figure out what it is that you like about them and what it is that maybe you don't like about some of them. For example, if landscapes were of interest to you, then study the masters such as Ansel Adams and others. Anyway, I hope you get the idea. A lot of us out here are self taught and we learned from reading books by those who are at the top of their field and by reading postings on the web by today's masters. Hope this helps.

With a subject like the first one you could move around and change your vantage point til you get the leaves in your viewfinder the way you want them with a pleasing background. Something like the second one might be more interesting with something else in the photo, clouds, a building, etc. since with your lens it looks like you weren't able to get closer.

You might want to spend some time looking thru your viewfinder and thinking about what you see before you release the shutter. It will probably take time and practice to learn to get proper exposures and well framed compositions. I hope you enjoy using your new camera.

I got Canon 600D(DSLR).Is it a good camera? @DougGrigg

[WesternGuy]

For your question about aperture, ISO, shutter speed, etc., you might want to try and find a couple of references:

1) Understanding Exposure, Revised Edition, by Bryan Peterson - Understanding Exposure, 3rd Edition: How to Shoot Great Photographs with Any Camera: Bryan Peterson: 9780817439392: Amazon.com: Books (This is the latest edition - 3rd Edition/Revised and Updated)

2) The Exposure Field Guide, by Michael Freeman - The Exposure Field Guide: The essential handbook to getting the perfect exposure in photography; any subject, anywhere: Michael Freeman: 9780240817743: Amazon.com: Books

Both of these photographers have written a number of other books that you may also find of interest.

To start, you may want to have a look at this website, which will give you a quick overview of the relationship between ISO, shutter speed and aperture - Learning about Exposure - The Exposure Triangle - Digital Photography School. As well, you can probably find numerous websites that cover the subject and may be of help to you. It is very difficult to answer general questions on a forum such as this one, but if you have very specific questions about some aspect of the exposure triangle (if you don't know what this is, then Google it) then you can probably get these answered here. Hope this helps.
