I've only been shooting for less than a year, sometimes i expect myself to be further along than i currently am and it can be discouraging as most of you may know. I accepted that when i started photography i would invest a good couple of years into it before i actually started to really expect some decent work from myself, i go out and shoot every day for the mere experience of learning and i can tell im improving every day, this message is great for someone like me and im sure there are a lot of other people who get discouraged on here. just KEEP SHOOTING and never give up, you'll get where you wanna be if you stick with it.

Thank you for the Mother's Day wishes, and YES, I get discouraged but I just keep clicking.

There are a lot of people out there that were so called over night successes, after spending years developing their skills.

"Just keep shooting" is only productive when the person has a specific goal or task in mind when they do shoot.

The single most important element in any kind of visual art is the use of light, and when doing photography that usually means using flash, even in daytime.
