Question by Emmaleiqh, <3: How do i become an amazing photographer?Pix included!?
So photography is my passion, no lie, first thing i think of every morning when i wake up is, “How do i become good at photography!?”
I have tried, but not too hard at all, that’s because i don’t know where to start. I would love to be able to do some of the stunning photography, like on photobucket but i just don’t know how, i don’t know what kind of editing it right for a specifc picture, and i need creative ideas. Could someone please tell me how to get started, i already have a digital camera, just please, i’m dying for some ideas!
Something like this…

I think you need a couple things:
-a good camera.
-a scenery that has good lighting.
-a good editing software.
Really, neither of those two photographs are too spectacular.
I think they are just average pictures with good coloring.
You need to know how to mess with:
-saturation.
-contrast.
-brightness.
Editing is truly key, because other than having a good photo from the get-go, you need to be able to fix it to make it look stunning.

All you need is a camera, and some sort of instruction either from a teacher or a book. No matter photography isn’t about editing or about how good your camera is. It’s about you and how you visualize the world. Don’t turn to places like photobucket for inspiration, go back and look at some of the masters of photography, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Yousef Karsh! etc. Here are the masters: http://www.masters-of-fine-art-photography.com/02/artphotogallery/home.html
Buy some books on photography technique – the technical and the compositional side of things.
Look at good photographers work and try and figure out how they took the shots.
and
Practise, Practise, practise.
