Pretty good article. I'll remember when I take some photos.

I can hardly wait for the second article in the series. I've sent this to some people I know, it's certainly worth reading

Very good article! now i see opportunities to take pics that were all around me all the time!

I hope there will be hints on shadows/contrasts, their use and their problems in the next article!

i'm a photographer, and i think articles and books like these are just silly... it's like, guide to become creative!! or shortcuts to becoming smart!!

you learn to compose by paying attention to your photos, and receive feedback from others. there are too many websites out there where you will get valid crits. follow a guide to compose creatively will only let you compose as creatively as the writer and everyone else who read it.

of course, no one will listen to me, and just think, "wow, bookmark the guide, my photo bible is here!!" have it your way, it's your photos, i'll do my job and you do yours :)

You can't explain how to sleep to an insomniac but you can show him a bed.

brilliant idea!! eat the mattress!! i like them BBQed.

i was hoping u guys gave up on these photography articles...

#5, you are completely right. However, I am glad for this article as I didn't knew not even a single thing in it. Yes, I am not a photographer

I agree with #5 that this will not make you a professional photographer. But, for someone like me that struggle to take good pictures and do not have a single creative/artistic bone in me, it gives me some hints on how to improve picture quality and get a little excited about taking pictures.
