    Re: Can anybody give me some advice for Photography?

    Angie - You're starting from scratch, where everyone has to start. But your request is too vague - you have to specify what you want help with, not just say "make a picture look good." If you want a structured approach I would recommend a close on beginning photography. If you prefer the approach of learning as you do, try taking shots and posting them on the Photo Critique forum, and folks will provide feedback.

    Ps - Your cat shots in your gallery look OK.

    Angie whether an image is good or not, often depends on how the photographer sees it. Go to a library and look through some photography books. Make note of what you like or don't and maybe try to figure out why you liked it (or not). Take a look at some of the books by Freeman Patterson. He has written a few books on the how and why and not just the technical aspects of photography. Bryan Peterson has written an interesting book on Learning to see creatively. Most of all - practice-practice-practice and then practice some more. You will eventually get a feeling for what makes a good image for you. HTH.

    Cheers,
