How to shoot better pictures

How do you get to learn everything you need to know? To me, it all boils down to the following options:

  1. Practice
  2. Read books
  3. Take training courses
  4. Make friends with a pro

One and two are fairly easy, and cheap, you just need to find the time and the right books.

I just purchased two books on how to shoot like the pros. They're part one and two and written by top photographer Scott Kelby. They're written in a as-you-go style, or as he like to put it - as you were hiking together, and when you have a question he answers it. I haven't got through them yet (again, the time factor) but they seem quite good so far.

On three and four I'll have to take a rein check.

My next post will contain some of my old compositions, to compare with future ones. At least that's the plan.
