[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 65114, member: 9521"] Hi Caroline, welcome My advice is pretty simple - read. Read everything you can about photography. Read about how a digital camera produces an image, how optics dictate deep of field and what and where the hyperfocal distance is and how to use it, and finally read about composition and why diagonal lines produce tension vs. "S" lines and what the "golden triangle" is and how it differs from the "golden rectangle". And the principles at play in photography are the same in fine art, especially when it comes to landscape and portrait art so add fine art books on your reading lists. And if you're anything like me and you finish reading all these books your photography might not be any better but at least you'll know why most of your photos suck! LOL!!! ;) [/QUOTE]
