These were all the result of a photo-taking excursion I recently went on with a friend, which I suppose is something I can talk about, albeit extremely briefly. If you ever want to improve your photographic skills then the best thing I can suggest to you is to go out and take photos. This piece of advice may seem somewhat redundant but is often one of the greater things lost when you drift too far into the theoretical end of learning. If you ever truly want to learn how to use a camera, the best thing you can do is play with it and the best way to play with it is to set aside an afternoon to just go out and shoot whatever catches your eye. Thinking is still involved but the practice is much more important for putting your theory to test. Okay. Enough chatter, I'll see you next week!
