5 ways to become a good photographer-

1. HAVE FUN:
Taking yourself to seriously is a good way to get frustrated or quit altogether. Remember to keep photography fun. Enjoy the experiences of learning and come to terms with the fact that getting great photos requires time and practice. And lots of it.

2. KNOW YOUR EQIPMENT:
There are no shortcuts. If you don't understand depth of field, aperture, or shutter speed- just to name a few of the photography's technical aspects- you'll get discouraged quickly- the key to getting the photos you envision is to know hoe your camera works.

3. FOCUS ON YOUR SUBJECT:
Free your mind of other worries and focus on the subject you're trying to capture. photography is more than pressing a button. To make art you must be present and focused while you're out shooting.

4. FOLLOW A ROUTINE:
You can prevent many common mistakes simply by coming up with a routine to follow each time you go out for a shoot. Keep a mental or physical checklist: charge your batteries, format your memory cards, clean your lens, check your camera settings, etc. When following your list becomes a habit, you'll be less likely to make silly mistakes.

5. NEVER GIVE UP:
Goldstein's most valuable piece of advice is to keep at it. Every photographer, no matter how experienced, has been tempted to pack away his or her camera after disheartening shoot. Do not give in to this temptation.
