3. Pay attention to history – from Daguerre to Cartier-Bresson, from Talbot to Leibovitz, the history of photography is full of extraordinary pictures and stories. Read about them, learn from it.
4. Decide what your preferences are – beginners tend to photograph anything, from flowers to events, from bugs to landscapes. Once you passed that phase, decide what you want to do. This will also help you in deciding what lenses and camera you need.
5. Photograph alone – meeting 10-20 photographers at the same time or going on a trip together is a good opportunity to socialize. But you need to work on your projects alone.
