I was browsing through my flickr photos when I saw this link for amateur photographers. Circle of Photographers gives good advise on taking photos and how to get started in professional photography! Plus you can submit your pictures to them and it can get published! But..naah..i dont think im good enough to submit my own. I still need a lot of practice. Anyways, here are their ten golden rules:

1. Move in closer

2. Be quick

3. Compose with care

4. Be selective

5. Focus on your subject

6. Experiment in time

7. Look at the light
8. Watch the weather

9. Keep it simple

10. Be bold

And Im practicing...
