Description Are you relatively new to digital photography, and want your work to look more polished?
Then this is for you!

I am going to share some tips and suggestions that helped me when I first started out, without getting into technical details.

It might take a while to load, please be patient

Please feel free to point out any corrections/additions.

Update: I presented a live tutorial on May 7th in the #photography chatroom on dAmn, that builds upon this one. You can find the log here: [link]

I don't have a huge interest in photography, and I have always thought for some reason that it had different "rules" than normal traditional or digital art. I already know all these rules from being in art class for 3 years... this was really really helpful, so I'll try to apply these to any photographs I take in the future.
