Question

Hi!

I'm 15 and I love to take photos. I was just wondering if any of these photos are any good? Do I have a talent in photography or not?

Answer 1

IMO there are four elements to good photography

1. A good eye for subject . Which you have.

2. Technical competence, knowing how to use your equipment.

3. Understanding the rules of good composition. To begin with you must study the rule of thirds, a simple guide to effective composition, start here... http://digital-photography-school.com/bl...  

4. Raw talent. You can to a degree get away with not having this if the other three elements are in place.

Answer 2

yes you are really good! I especially love the ones of the sunset sky.

And the kittens are sooooo cute! I'm a huge cat fan! lol

Keep up the great work.

Tip: maybe try to zoom in a little more when you take pics of the cats. They're cute as you have them...but experiment with it...you might like it when you zoom into their faces more.

Answer 3

They're ok. But no one has absolutely amazing pictures in the beginning. Almost all of them are blurry and out of focus. They lack good composition. Keep practicing. I'm sure you will improve. You definately have an eye for things though.

And you have an insanely cute dog, omg. :D

Answer 4

At 15, I am impressed. :)

You are starting to develop a good photography eye. I would aim more at trying to do something unique. Your photos are not bad at all, but they would not stand out much in a mix of most photography.

Do some research, look into some of the famous photographers. You still have a lot of time to develop your personal style.  

Answer 5

yes nice

Answer 6

yes there good. i am also fifteen check out mine

Answer 7

They are....alright. In photography, try to be unique. catch the scene at an angle or position that will help make the shot unique. Photography is pretty easy. Pros have keen eyes and a talent for lighting, props, position and use good equipment like D/SLRs and SLRs. This helps to set them apart from others. They also have good CONTACTS. (This makes or breaks any career) Continue to practice. You are not bad. But neither do I go "Ohh WOW!"

Invest in a good camera and some photoshop type softwares.

I am studying visual design with the photography/digital studio emphasis.

Answer 8

Answer 9
