What can I do to improve my photography?

Question

I am a beginner photographer, but I'd like to go into photography more in the future and I was wondering if anyone had tips, or constructive criticism.

Here is the link to my flickr photo stream =) http://www.flickr.com/photos/say-anything/

Answer 1

Avoid taking close ups of faces with the camera lens on a wide angle. It distorts the features. Step back and zoom in.

Answer 2

here's a good place to stark for beginner tips:

Answer 3

i also agree about the faces close up. makes em look distorted.

also try getting down more to ground level (or closer to it) when shooting ones like this

gives it a better perspective.

also use the rule of thirds
