I can’t see the first picture, so we’ll skip that.
The second picture: anyone standing there could snap that, and there’s some photobombs along the edges. It is rather terrible (Sorry.)

The third picture shows promise, but the focus is soft on the girl’s face.

I’m going to be brutally honest, so prepare yourself. Prepared? Okay then, on we go.

 

Right now, a new camera won’t help. In fact, some amazing pictures have been taken with point-and-shoots, or even worse (Google “Pro Tog, Cheap Camera”, and be amazed). Only going out and shooting will. Go and practice, and your pictures will get far better. You do show a developing eye, but you’ve got to get out there and develop it some more.

Here, to start, have one of my favourite blog posts in ever:
