Hello!
My name is Stephen, and I am taking a photography class in college. During this class I have fallen in love with photography, and have bought a prime lense.

My gear currently is a Cannon T6I rebel with one 50mm lense 1.4
one 55-250mm
one 18-55mm
Lenses.

My goals for photography are to be able to shoot birds, people, and landscapes. If anyone has any suggestions for gear to help me accomplish this that would be great! Also, i would like to shoot really tiny things outside. The other goal I have is to travel the world and shoot everyone in their natural environment. I also want to get the wildlife in every country too!

Please let me know how my pictures can be stronger. I want to perfect my craft. I am open to any and all critiques! I attached four photos that I have shot myself.


Thanks for reading this,
Stephen.

That 50mm ƒ1.4 is an excellent lens. Time spent mastering it is time well spent.

[quote=Newsbob] But mostly, it didn’t “pop.” So sorry to say it but it did not pop because of the not so good lighting. It was lit but not quite right. I have given lectures on lighting photography trained by the best wedding guys in and out of town. Monte Zucker was one of them. It needed a softer lighter style of lighting. As well as the correct angle of lighting, correct pose angel and a bit better camera angel. The worst critic a photographer should have is himself first and then a great photographer second. My greatest opinionated Photographer was one I worked for and he's passed away since. He set me up with many a volume of videos on tape from Zucker to Ziser and himself. I viewed all the tapes until the tapes would not play anymore. I would spend three hours or so watching the tapes every Saturday until I had to leave to shoot a wedding. Intense training and intense work.
