>>3321481>new to photography but really enjoy doing it, especially long exposures and macro, any tips or hints on how to be consistently taking and editing good shots?I also started on light trails. They were the first "genre" of long exposures I tried and the first specific thing I remember getting into. They were all terrible but it was a fantastic learning experience
>any tips or hints on how to be consistently taking and editing good shots?For editing it's just about continuing the vision you had when you shot the photo- your style and consistency will show as a natural symptom of sticking to shooting certain things and with a certain vision/theme/goal in mind. I've come to realise that the perfect shot is rarely anything but the one that marries in-camera choices and post-processing choices with the vision in your brain when you're shooting
As for shooting, that just comes with experience. Learn a very specific area of photography and get extremely good at it, then move on to something else. Depth of knowledge is far more important than breadth in photography
