Learning photography will always make you a better photographer.

Your photos are very good. Keep up the good work and practice and learn.

[mikkaa]

Hi again I have new question how did you learn taking photos ? On internet or at school or from books. I`m lookin for a teacher :)

[EricKonieczny]

Very Nice photos , especially for a beginnner.

If you want to keep learning and bracning out, keep finding and looking for a different subject matter. You have mainly landscape and nature shots here, keep pushing the boundaries, walk around your city, or go to the city, shoot day time, nighttime, with freinds, etc


I want to visit Poland so bad, allot of my family has, and I need to for sure. I wish I learned more Polish from my grandparents, and much of waht i did know, I have not used in many years.

If you want to learn more, pick up books, read here and other websites, join a local photography club, ask a freind or take a beginner course at a university or college. Many of us have degrees in business, engineering, computers, etc, but never stop learning.

Keep it up.

Thank you for your advises :) you want to come to Poland and I want go to USA we can change :D of course I`m jokeing. I have only one problem I don`t have good equipment it`s my biggest problem :/ Oh and in my area there are no local photography club. Ustka is really small city.
PS. I`m sorry if I`m doing too many mistakes.

jak duzo pollackuf jest tutaj w tych forums? ile mogom rozmawiac po polsku? ja nie bardzo moge pisac, ale moge muwic troche.

To me, just about the best photography book is the manual that comes with your camera. Study it, learn what your camera can do, try all those different settings and study the results.
And I find some of the best shots are going to be the "accidents", not what you had in mind when you pushed the button but either better or - to me more importantly - something that gives a new idea to try.

troche polaków tutaj jest :D moge powiedziec ze sie tego nie spodziewalam ok but i think that we should write in english i know that i`m doing a lot of mistakes but i hope you will forgive me :D Yossarian you`re right that "the best shots are going to be the accidents" i saw it after making photos during birghtsday parties :D for example yesterday when my friend finished 18 years old :D

Very good question. EricKonieczny has some excellent answers.

In addition to his suggestions I feel that taking lots of photos will help a lot too especially if you're using digital because they're much cheaper. But, even if you're using film, practice practice practice.

After you've taken the photos, look at each and try to find what you could have done to make it better. Better framings, distance from subject different, different camera controls, different light direction, etc.

Also, take notes when you take the picture as to all factors that affect the picture.

These are just more suggestions but they should help.

I`m really graceful for this advices I`m usually taking photos by my digital camera but it`s not the best equipment it is quite bad, but I don`t have mony for new one. I have also real camera it is old but very good but also expensive :/

[mikkaa]

Hi I added new photos to my web check it ;)

[aleksey]

swietne zdjecia..... I think some of those images are really good. well done:)

[mikkaa]

Hi I have new question for you :D Do you taking photos only for yourselves or you are selling them and how or where. And thanks again for your posts here :D

[Spphotos]

Hi , Im also Polish , But i cant write or read it, Just talk it lol. But your photos are nice , Havent been there since i was 3 or 4 yrs old.

[garbidz]

There are some excellent Polish photographers posting on Flickr. I find their picture language fascinating as it is so different from the mainstream Anglo-American. One of the greatest things in photography is learning to see how others see. Machines are just machines, it is the eye and the soul that is irreplaceable in creating good photo- or whatever graphic art.

Very simple equipment in use here, but a lot of imagination and a fresh view:

Djin dobre!

I am a teacher.
You do not need a teacher.

When you are reading.....,
or listening to....,
or watching.....,
then you are just reading or listening or watching.

When you are doing, you are learning.

[mikkaa]

Hi thank you for your advise I never thought about it in that way.

[mikkaa]

Hello is it true that if you are taking B&W photos you learn more than when you are taking colour photos

[Robert_Lay]

Possibly!
It depends upon whether or not you are more interested in B&W. Generally speaking, people learn about things they are interested in and they tend to ignore things that they are not interested in.

When I started out in photography at age 23 in 1953, I could not afford to do color and there were no facilities for doing color that I could use. I learned about B&W and worked with it until about 1980, and then I started making color prints. But I was never as interested in color as B&W. Color is much more demanding. I think very few people can do both, because you have to orient your thinking to one discipline or the other in order to do it justice.

[mikkaa]

I love color and B&W photography but I think that B&W is more interesting and more beautiful.

[JohnnyG]

Djin dobre!


When you are doing, you are learning.
Excellent advice! Take lots of pictures and learn from your mistakes but, I'm repeating myself!

Happy new year :D
I wish you great photos :) I like to start new year because I can start everyhing from 0. I can forget about my not good photos and have hope that new year give me better imagination. So best wishes :D
