I disagree. I think that previsualizing and thinking before you take a photograph will create a much finer end result. Your photos are good, but could be much better if you put more thought into them. However, I do think that sometimes photography can seem overly complicated when you're first learning, but over time you learn more and it doesn't seem so complicated.

i used to feel the same way. but if you want to take better pictures, you need to think about it. yes, a lot of people have a natural feel for composition, but in order to really bring out what you're trying to accomplish, a lot of thought needs to be put into a picture.

exposure for example, do you just go with what your camera says is a good exposure? or do you look at what you're taking a picture of, and think about whether over or underexposing will give more of the desired effect?

Unless you've got an incredible natural eye for a photo, you do need to think about it. There are certain "rules" you see people write about, but you're only 13 - the best thing you can do is definitely get out there and take as many photos as you can of things you like and you'll develop your own style. I wish I'd started as young as you. Good luck with it and keep shooting!

One more thing - send SteveXs2 a message for an invite to the photograph cult. Lots of people there for help and critiques.

thanks for the insight guys you changed my perception of things

exposure has been a big thing that i've been dealing with lately - working with film makes it that much more difficult since you don't know how it came out until you've developed your film and contact sheet, and even then there's still a bunch of things that you can do when you're making the print itself (f-stop, dodging & burning, exposure time on the enlarger, etc).

as far as composition, i agree that a shot with a lot of thought behind it will definately show, but there are always times when you just see a shot and right away it's a good one. really the best thing to do is just drive around every once and a while with your camera and just take random photos - my friend andy and i sometimes will just go out on the weekends with 3 rolls of film each and go through them all just going to the beach or from random mini-road trips. have fun with it is what i'm saying, i guess.

yeah man i suggest reading a basic photography book. it really helped me alot. i read a national geographic one that explained everything from how apature and shutterspeed work together to the different "rules" and all this other stuff. it really helped. i think the title is just national geographic photography field guide.

ps. how much does the conon rebel cost?
