1. http://nh.essortment.com/photographytip_rlay.htm This site should give you great tips.
2. take a course at the local community college. you'll get to use their equipment without having to lay out a bunch of money for your own. As well, if you get a good instructor, you'll be that much better off!
3. I signed up for a series of daily photography tips at this site: http://www.digital-photo-secrets.com/ They give you free tips because they want you to buy their book, but the tips are free nevertheless. You're not obligated to buy it.
4. Try to make sure the composition of the photo draws you to the head of the main subject in the photo. A low horizon indicates a long voyage ahead. The longer the magnification on the lens, the more squished together things seemed with things behind them.
5. It depends on what type of photography you want to do. I'm a photographer and will be happy to help you but I need to know what you are trying to do. E-mail me.
6. Yeh, 1) Not everyone can be a photographer (no matter how good their family and friends tell them they are). 2) You need to have a strong eye for lighting concepts 3) Understand basic composition (rule of thirds) 4) Force yourself to shoot so many images a week to help you get a better eye for detail along with practice for composition 5) Study the works of other photographers 6) Understand Aperature, Shutter Speed and F-Stops 7) Read tons of books // Amherst media (www.amherstmedia.com) has great books for any level photographer 8) If you want to do it on a professional level, do what it takes to get an apprenticeship with a local photographer 9) Subscribe to magazines as they constantly have tips and new ideas to try out.
7. Perhaps the best tip i can give is... "The name of the game is fill up the frame." Too often young photographers let their subjects float in a sea of extraneous space. Get close and fill the viewfinder with your subject. If you're shooting a group of people hold the camera horizontally. If you are doing a portrait try holding the camera in a vertical position. Also watch your backgrounds. I can't tell you the number of times a student has given me a photo to critique and there appears to be a tree limb or light pole growning from the photo subjects head.
8. Black and white photos make shots look great, Trust me on that one. Plus take a camera with you everywhere because you never know when the perfect shot will crop up. I was out and there was this old couple on a bench and I didn't have my camera. It was perfect as well, i was gutted. Anyway, if you need any more check the internet, books, or take a course but I think photography is a natural thing.
