1. Just because someone has an expensive camera doesn't mean that they're a good photographer. - It also doesn't mean they're a bad one. What it means for sure is that they have more money than you, which makes them better at SOMETHING than you.


8. Go outside & shoot photos rather than spending hours a day on photography forums. - Pot, meet kettle.
9. Capture the beauty in the mundane and you have a winning photograph. - Or maybe a dull one.

14. Spend less time looking at other people's work and more time shooting your own. - No, keep looking, keep learning and keep being inspired and above all, steal.


16. Girls dig photographers. - Oh, rilly? And I thought it was my charm and boyish good looks, but now I know why you don't want ME taking my camera to parties.

23. Be a part of a scene while taking a photo; not a voyeur. - Yeah babe, so you REALLY dig me?
24. Taking a photo crouched often make your photos look more interesting. Midget job opportunity!
25. Worry less about technical aspects and focus more on compositional aspects of photography. -



29. Don't be afraid to take several photos of the same scene at different exposures, angles, or apertures. - Well duh. Press the fucking button! Shoot and move, shoot and move. Work out later why some work and some don't.

30. Only show your best photos. - Now all you have to do is work out which ones they are. A clue; the amount of effort or cost involved isn't the measure.
85. Have fun while taking photos. - That wrist strap means you can shoot one handed!!!

99. Capture the decisive moment. - Just as it hits her tits. bugger, missed it.


Shortened list.
