Chapter 1. Get Ready to Take Photos
Whether you are a snapshot photographer who takes several photos to record people, places, and events that are meaningful to you, or you are a passionate photographer who gets immense joy from making fine art photographs, you can always improve your photography if you do the right things before shooting.
Choosing what and where to shoot is the first step that you must take before shooting. Learn to find good events, places, and subjects to shoot by reading newspapers, books, or online resources. Look for good photo opportunities at local fairs, botanical gardens, nature preserves, national parks, or even zoos. Consider shooting still life or setting up a studio inside where you can control lighting.
