The first step is to look at art – lots of it. Don’t limit yourself to specific genres, subjects or time periods. Look at antique daguerreotypes and modern digital images. Follow the work of photojournalists, portrait artists, nature photographers and more. By looking at what has gone before, you’ll start to develop a sense of not only what art admirers enjoy, but also what makes an image timeless.

As you’re studying the works of others, create your own images. If there is one advantage that modern photographers have, it’s that we are only limited by the space on our memory cards. So go out and take as many photos as you can, and analyze them critically. Do your images leave you with certain feelings, or do they somehow tell a story? Is there something about the play of colors or light and shadow that fascinates you? Compare them to the work of photographers you admire to see how they stack up – not only technically, but also emotionally.

You’ll often hear this philosophy by another name: the photographer’s eye. And, indeed, there is a book of the same name by John Szarkowski that uses examples of history’s most famous photographs to teach and inspire budding photographers. In short, the photographer’s eye is not simply blind adherence to the Rule of Thirds or other laws of composition, and it’s definitely not about owning the best gear money can buy or learning the latest and greatest processing techniques. Instead, the photographer’s eye is a way of looking at everyday ordinary objects, finding something new and extraordinary about them and using that discovery to create something amazing.

If photography instructors could disable things like aperture priority, shutter priority and fully automatic modes on their students’ cameras, they probably would. It’s helpful for a beginner to become adept at changing exposure on the fly because this is the only real way for budding photographers to learn the intricacies of their cameras. Once your camera’s controls become second nature, however, it’s perfectly acceptable to choose an automatic mode. Learning to shoot in manual mode forms good habits, but always shooting in manual means that you’ll miss split-second shots – a fleeting expression, a charging animal or another intense moment.

New photographers are also taught to avoid inky shadows and blown highlights. According to this rule, the image’s histogram should stay relatively even rather than swinging to one side or the other. But once in a while, those dark shadows and bright highlights add emotional depth to an image. If areas of dark black or solid white benefit your image as a whole, then feel free to break the rules of exposure by over or under-exposing your image.

For a beginning photographer, the natural tendency is to place all subjects in the center of the frame. That’s why we teach the Rule of Thirds – it helps us to make our compositions more dynamic. As your skills advance, however, you'll soon see that the Rule of Thirds is more a guideline than a law. Sometimes, a subject is just so interesting that it demands a central position. Perspective shots – such as a train track or road leading into the distance – also sometimes work well when centered, as do subjects that are perfectly symmetrical in nature.
