If you don't have quality of light, the rest doesn't matter.

Gorgeous images of which 99% of us will never even come close to creating no matter if the horizons are straight or not- lol

As a side note- I bet some will say these images are over processed.

Shooting around sunset or sunrise makes a big difference. Good point.

When I look at results like this, https://www.marcadamus.com there is nothing SIMPLE that is going to improve a photo. But if we are talking amateur hour,

1 - shoot around sunset or sunrise,

2 - try to find an interesting subject

If you have a camera with literally hundreds of menu options you will never reach the point that you don't have to think about how you adjust your settings for every imaginable situation. I know it sounds cool but it's pie in the sky.

[quote=imagemeister]A very GOOD question ! Here is my four...

Quality of light and placement

Choice and treatment of backround.

My Facial stabilizers ( aids in compositional and AF accuracies)

Proper shutter speed for the scenario

Yup

I have no idea what "garish pp tendencies" means. Is that some sort of photo lingo?


May refer to inappropriate urination.

For General Photography
#1 Understand the Exposure Triangle. With this knowledge almost all aspects of photography are learnable. Not to mention with this knowledge you spend all of your time concentrating on how to capture the image, not how to expose for it.....
#2 Know the functions of your Camera inside and out. Again, your working to capture the image, not fiddling with controls and scratching your head.....
#3 Light, Light, Light. Never pass up Good light, and if you have too, wait for it, or return another day.........

I start by taking off the lens cap... on my Canon t4i I usually turn the camera on.

Straight horizons is a pet peeve of mine.
But I think if the picture is overall out of focus it doesn't matter about getting the other things right.


Minimize extraneous objects, if possible, by changing focal length and/or angle.

Make sure horizons are straight

Aim for in focus photos


What 2 things do you think would make the greatest improvement?


Interesting subject taken from an unusual point of view or light.
