  • Answer:

    If you give up and stop taking photos you'll never become good. When you take the time to learn the basics from lighting, composition, and exposure you'll start seeing yourself take better images. Three years ago most of my work looked like crap. Today, some of it still does but I have better knowledge and skill behind the camera and produce more good images than bad. You have to use your brain to think and learn as well as figure out what to photograph. Look around you. There's so much to see and photograph that once you open your eyes and mind you'll have plenty of ideas. Start learning and don't give up because your photos are not good now.

you have some really nice pictures on there and if you like taking scenery pictures then take scenery pictures, it's what you see in the photograph, it's your hobby, you need to grow your own talents rather than trying to grow by taking other peoples advice, they're not always right, especially if they don't do photography/aren't creative! also, the people saying you take "bad photos" - fair enough, take advice, it can help, but remember to only take it when it's constructive, ask them why they think it's bad, ask them what else you can do etc, you can't just say somethings bad and then not why! in my personal opinion i prefer the sky one, but i also think you have a few better ones than those two on there, but everyone see's something different in every photo, so you won't get a definitive answer here and for other things to take pictures of, try taking your camera for a walk and see what you come across

"I love taking photos.. but i d[o]nt want to keep taking them if im not even good ya knoww? So can you please help me!" Answer is: Nobody is born with the ability, like anything else you have to want to do it so much that you work at it. You have done fairly well here, but you have a long way to go to perfect or even near perfect. You have to think about what you want your picture to be before the camera goes off. Learn exposure, composition and other design concepts and you'll succeed. The question here is do you want to learn to be better at it or just get an opinion that you should walk away? "What else could i take pictures of?" Well, pretty much anything you like that isn't invisible or a state secret. Remember, photography is what you make it. You can do it seriously as a career, sort of seriously as a hobby or just choose to take snapshots for fun. It's up to you, not one of us can make the decision for you. But, enjoy your choice, regardless of what others say.

You photos that include the (blue) sky are over-processed..The sky is never that blue. The angles you took the flower photo , aren't really that good.Makes the flower look ugly. Taking a photo of the flower itself, would have been better. Your photos of the trees aren't really that interesting..They don't have bad image quality, but they are just boring..Looks like something I would see everyday. The idea with the swing is creative, but you should crop the bottom out. Under-exposed, and it's better if the swing is a bit lower in the photo. The photo of the beach, and M&Ms are grainy..The M&M photo is creative, but not interesting, unless you are a teen-photographer. I think you should work on taking photos of unique and interesting stuff, and not editing your photos, unless you just tweak the exposure, sharpen them..etc Also, posting photos on Facebook isn't smart.First of all, no one is going to like some random teen's photography, mostly when it's not the best. Second of all, it shows you are not serious.Third of all, there are hardly any photographers on Facebook to give you tips. Flickr is a lot better. Everyone is a photographer there, and if you add enough friends, comment and favorite their photos, and add photos to groups , you might get some comments. Adding your photos to a photography critiquing group could help you get better as well. It's free,unless you want to pay $24.95 for a pro-account. Your photos of the sky are quite bland though, and I doubt your camera over-edits photos and makes the less interesting. The graininess and under-exposure may be part of your camera's fault though. Quotes on photos are for teen photographers..Only teens like teen photography, or very few adults.Most adults are far more serious , and take better non-cliche photos.
