Photography is becoming more popular as a hobby and the development of cameras on phones is helping to get people involved. However, there are still problems and they are best dealt with if they are understood from the start.
Firstly, talent does not depend on the amount of equipment used. Lenses and other accessories can add something but you need to find the subject. New equipment is only the answer if you know that what you already have is not giving you the best results. Don’t buy just because you want something new. The effort is the important thing – practice and more practice and very often a string of failed shots in the past. Getting good results can be hard work and is not luck at all.

Patience is important as often there have to be specific conditions for the right shot. It’s no good expecting to turn up and get the perfect shot – be prepared to wait. It also helps if you are taking pictures because you want to not because you are getting paid. That way you snap what you want not what others ask for. Often a professional will be using less expensive items than an amateur as they can afford them when they have bills to pay.
Images should never be over processed. Make it mean something rather than become an abstract and something that not many people are going to want to look at. The final product is the important thing. Don’t obsess about the equipment but concentrate on the details.
