How to improve my photography? (I'm a beginner)?

Ello.c:
I just recently started getting into photography. How can I improve? I just took my first levitation picture yesterday but it wasn't all that good.):
Who are some good photographers and who are your favorite ones? Also, I don't really have much to work with… My birthday is coming up so I can certainly ask for photography equipment. I take pictures with my Vivitar ViviCam 8025 camera, my Nintendo DSi (lol it's pathetic I know. Like, I said I don't have much to work with) and my iPhone 3g. I'm turning 14 so I don't expect people to buy me a bunch of fancy stuff but what's a good camera for beginners?

Study photography and art - not just camera gear. You can't buy skills - you earn them through study and experience.

Study these topics…

Composition
Lighting
Art - paintings, etc.

Remember…
A camera is but a paint brush, it is more important who is holding the brush than which brush it is. All decent cameras can take wonderful pictures in the right hands. Spend your time studying great lighting and composition because even a great camera can't fix bad lighting or composition. And have fun with whichever brush you buy or use.

My iPhone 6 it's not bad but I want to invest in a good camera to capture all the details. I would like your opinion on which would be the best camera for a beginner that is user friendly. I'm pretty technical so would get use it pretty quick I think. Having asked some friends they have suggested Canon dslr rebel. I have looked at the T5 but not really sure, thats why I'm here.

  • What would you recommend to a beginner photographer? I'm beginning to follow my dream of becoming a professional photographer, yet I don't own a camera. I mean, I use my iPhone and my parent's digital camera, but not one of my own. I've used Canon's cameras before, and I think I want to save up for one. Can someone recommend a few that I could start with? Something HD, with a nice grip, not too bulky.
