When you are in digital photography, it is very important that you take note about the ISO setting. This setting is related to the camera's sensitivity for light. Generally, you will want to use low ISO setting for still pictures like fruit bowl or flower. Then you will want to use high ISO setting for moving pictures like waterfall or soccer player in a match.
And just to let you know, when you increase the ISO, you also are limiting the amount of light entering your digital camera. Hence, that will make your pictures look noiser.
Have you ever taken your pictures with the grid lines activated? Many photographers think that grid lines are a waste of time and the lines often annoy the view. As much as I have to admit that, I do believe that grid lines are a waste of time.
Still, they can be quite useful when you think something is wrong with your pictures. They might be your missing tool to great digital photos. Some time it is by having the grid lines as your guide, only then you will notice that your pictures are out of line. And by practicing with the grid lines, you will become better in framing your shot.
And when all else fails, your last resort is to put out your pictures and let other experience photographers critic your work. I know how that feels. No one likes to be critic by someone else.
Still, if you can let go of your artist ego (I am sorry if I offended you when I say that) and try to listen to the other photographers have to say, you will start to see the issues you have. If you can take and practice the experienced photographers' feedback, you will start to see the differences in your pictures.
I know you are comfortable with your style but sometime it is our own style that limits us from growing our skills. It is not like you will fail anyone when you try something new. You can always switch back if you prefer your own style.
But for the time being, just try...
Happy taking pictures
Michael Wong.
