How to take charge of my interest in photography?

I am interested in photography but I havent yet taken any good pictures recentl. Lately though I think that I should take some steps to improve on it.

First of all, you have to have a passion for it in the first place. As long as you like something and put the time and effort into learning it, you will get better.

The first step you should take is getting into a class. I'm not sure how old you are but I started in my HS and took it all through college and now I work in the field.

You need to learn the basic skills or operating a film camera. That is a huge thing. I know digital is where it's at and that's how I shoot at the present time but it's never a bad thing to learn how to shoot film. It's a lot of fun to learn how to develop and print your own photographs.

BOOKS! you need them. you need a basic guide to photography which will include technique, composition, lighting.

It never hurts to enter a competition...but most of them cost money and if you don't feel you have the skill to compete it's a waste of money. get to reading some books and play with your camera. take it everywhere you go. take pictures of your family, friends, pets, neighbors, animals, nature, cityscapes. anything you see!

go to the bookstore and look through the history of photography as well. look up different photographers on the internet. the more you see, the better you will get. you just need the proper inspiration and there is no better way than to look at other people's art.

check out some of my photography too!
