I know I have asked through the years how do I get better at photos. Well I have finally found the secret. Just take pictures. It sounds simple, but all of the book reading and classes won't help you unless you apply the knowledge. I speak from experiance. If I read something or attend a class without ever applying when the time comes when I am in the field I think, well I know I can do this but I don't know how. Practice, practice and even more.
As I was looking through my libraries recently I noticed a continuing trend. Every year I have taken more pictures than the year before. That even goes with when I made the transition to digital. In the film days we had an excuse to not try things, today we don't. Just Take Pictures. Repeat after me, Just Take Pictures.
Easy enough.
The above was taken on the way to yet another golf course in September. I saw the sun rising in my rearview mirror and yanked the strearing wheel over and jumped out slapped the camera on the back of the car and clicked away.

It is funny that you wrote this.
Recently I had to write a profile, but it had different questions to it. One of the questions was:
"What advice do you have for a novice creative professional/photographer?"
Part of my answer was -
Start shooting, the more you shoot the more you will learn and the more you will gain confidence.
:D
Sound advice if I ever heard any!
