Views of Seattle
I think one of the most difficult things for beginner photographers (those who did’t attend an art school, like me) is to identify which photos are good or worth sharing and which ones are not (especially when critique sources are scarce). What I found it helps me and gives me confidence is learning more than how to use a camera; studying design and graphic basics or color composition and always going back to the work of the best photographers. Some of us may have the eye, the intuition for a good composition (that’s probably the reason we decided to get into photography in the first place) but are we able to explain why a photo is good (and I am not talking about outstanding technical execution)?

View from Kerry Park before sunset (Queen Anne Hill). Visibility was low due to the wildfires smoke.
