As we write this, we are halfway through 2021 and it’s the time when the digital revolution is thriving and expanding its reach everywhere.

For most people, clicking a mere picture is enough for the fact that they do not seek any artistic opportunities and consider taking pictures as a part of their day-to-day life. Then there are people who have taken up the art of image-making very seriously on different scales. The word ‘serious’ here implies several levels, viz amateur, hobbyist, enthusiast and professional. Although people in each category whether amateur or pro, look forward to making artistically neat and powerful images, the amateurs on the other hand do not gain that amount of learning and somehow manage to ruin the opportunities for themselves.

On any scale of photography, it is very important to remember that it’s easy to take a picture but it takes effort to make a worthy image. This effort is somewhat lacking in new beginners and sometimes even hobbyists and enthusiasts do things that do not leave a good impression on the people who follow your work, especially when it comes to photography. It is easy to talk about what others do but it takes a lot of effort and self-consideration to make things better in photography. Taking good images is important but knowing how to improve them is even more important.

This article will point out where you’re going wrong and what you should be doing to fix it. It’s not easy taking consistently good images, but once you get used to it, it becomes incredibly rewarding.
