What I've Learned In My First Month of Photography

[fjrabon]

Oh, one other thing I could have added here:

If you want to shoot outside, get used to waking up at 5:30 AM every day, and being out for dinner every day. Just make it a ritual that from about 5:30-7:30 you're taking pictures, AM & PM (obviously varying somewhat around actual sunset and sunrise).

Really good post man, took a lot from it and sort of going through some hard times/lows myself really want to start becoming *good/average* at photography and just doing it as another sort of outlet to avoid becoming too depressed/stressed etc...

This is sort of off-topic but whenever i'm doing/learning photography like in public/in a large populated area i start to feel really anxious/stressed cause i feel like idk what i'm doing and that someone will come up to me or look at me like i'm some sort of criminal... Thought photography was suppose to be stress free lol

This was 5 years ago and the op has been gone for 11 months.
A lot of the post was very generalized and not all accurate at that. You don't have to start with aperture settings at all. Sometimes the shutter speed is most important.
