What is the best place to learn more about taking good photos?
Started photography about a month ago and bought a shitty DSLR and I am having a lot of fun, but it's so obvious my photos are snapshits

I mean, obviously, practice and all that, but to train your eye to see better and understand things more

Thanks

I watch a lot of videos on youtube, it takes for fucking ever to distil that down into something useful, but it's free.

I can't recommend any books, but they are a good bet. Do you have any friends who are decent photographers?

I learned all the basic shit like rule of thirds, and just practice with exposure - stuff like this:

This is just a really poor example, but from googling I found this knowledge.

DSLRs are a double edged sword because you can spend forever learning the basics as it's extremely forgiving. Film + B/W film is a very steep learning curve but my god do you learn a shit tonne.

thank you so much

do you know any good Youtubers you could recommend?

If I really get into this whole thing, I might try film, it really seems interesting

Good question, I don't follow many photography channels, but for inspiration / insight I'm subscribed to Art of Photography.

This guy is very passionate, and his earlier videos are extremely useful.

The is a Matt Day who is also an interesting guy who focuses mostly on film, very informative but he tends to ramble a lot.

Other than that I would hit up a photography club if you're in uni, or meet with like minded people. That sort of atmosphere will really motivate you!

Actually, I just checked.

Go to The Art of Photography, and go to his videos. Then select "date added (oldest)", and you'll see what I mean. Very basic stuff, but very informative.
