If you remember, I made a recent post in which I was complaining about the quality of my pictures and how bad I am at photography.

Well I started looking around the Internet for photography lessons and found a few places where I could go here in Bucharest, but they seemed a bit expensive. So I changed tactics and did a little Google search and found some pretty decent online and free photography lessons. Even more, some friends borrowed me some books on photography.

The first thing that I’ll try to improve at is composition. It seems only normal that I should start with the “small” stuff. So, I’ve started reading “Digital Camera Magazine -Vital Skills Guide 1 – Master Composition“. And I think I picked the right book to start with. I especially liked the introduction:

Just as a composer has to arrange a piece of music, deciding which instruments will work together, which sounds flow and which clash, so it is that a photographer has to construct powerful images from the visual overload hitting them from all directions. To picture a scene through a photographer’s eyes is very different to just looking at it for what it is.”

I think I’ll be busy for a while, even if the book is only 49 pages.
