This guide takes you through everything you need to know to improve your photography with tips to improve your photography skills, choose the right gear, learn how to edit your photographs and know how to plan the perfect photography trip.
Whatever camera you decide to use, or where you are travelling to, you need to start somewhere with learning how to take photographs.
Whether you are using a smartphone, a second-hand camera or a brand-new camera, the basics are the same and these are outlined below. Once you have mastered these skills everything else will fall into place.
