Community ManagerWhat’s the one tip you’d give yourself starting out as a photographer?
There’s nothing quite like the power of hindsight, especially when it comes to some of those golden life tips you pick up along the way that would made your everyday a lot easier if you had known the...
There are many tips that can help you improve your photography skills, but if I had to choose one, I would say: Practice, practice, practice. Photography is a skill that requires constant learning and experimentation. You can read all the books and articles you want, but nothing beats actually going out and taking photos. The more you shoot, the more you will discover what works and what doesn’t, what you like and what you don’t, and what makes your photos stand out. Practice will also help you master your camera settings, your composition, and your post-processing. As the famous photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson said, “Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” So don’t be afraid to make mistakes, try new things, and have fun with your camera. Practice is the best way to learn and grow as a photographer.

Hi Long Meadow, thanks for posting and welcome to the Photographers group! That's totally a fair point, have you thought about posting this as a feature request on our Share an idea board?
Graham Thanks for the reply , I've had a look at the idea board and up voted a suggestion asking for the same thing ... You never know - fingers crossed.

That's great Long Meadow! For sure, the more votes, the better chance it has of making it's way through to our product teams. I'd also recommend starting a post here in the Photographers group explaining the idea, with a link through to the one you just voted for, this could help get it in front of some extra people who may vote, which could make all the difference!

Hi Nancy023, thanks so much for sharing these words of wisdom! I totally agree, practice definitely helps make perfect, and learning new skills and experimenting is also a lot of fun, which I think is equally as important when doing something that you are passionate about! I'd love to hear more about how you honed your skills as a photographer. Particularly, if you have used Dropbox to help on your journey!
