INTRODUCTION
WELCOME
Whenever you are learning a craft or
skill, there often comes a point when
you reach a plateau. After a period of
learning, suddenly you fi nd yourself on
autopilot going through the same old
routine. Don’t worry – it happens to the best of us.
In this issue of Amateur Photographer: Advanced
Photography Skills , we have come up with 20 ideas
that will help motivate and inspire your photography.
These ideas should help you to think about your
photography in a different way, perhaps by learning
a new skill or setting yourself a challenge.
In fact, this whole magazine is full of ways to help help
you become a better photographer, from trying out new
image-editing skills on your landscapes to learning how
to take better travel and street pictures. There is also a
complete guide to how to minimise the amount of noise
in your photos. Plus, we have valuable advice on fi lters,
cable releases, projectors and old lenses. Hopefully, you’ll
all be inspired to go out and take some amazing images
this spring!
