Editing a bad photo can’t make it good.
You should never take a photograph thinking you will make it good in postproduction. Postproduction can only do so much; things like exposure, white balance, and framing are easily fixed, but good photo developing can never save a poorly composed photograph. You should use postproduction to add the final touches on your photo, but do not rely on it to make it great.

A photo community is a group where you can discuss photography with peers. Joining a photography community is essential to improve your photography. With a community, you have access to people who can give you advice on different photographic techniques, as well as some constructive criticism on your work.
Print your photos.
Take pride in your photos and display them. Print them at home or get them professionally done at Motophoto. Once you have gotten your photographs printed, be sure to share them with your friends. Hang them up around your house, bring them to show to your photography community. You can even give them to others as a gift.

Don’t say photoshopped. Say developed.
If you tell people that you photoshopped your picture, they will immediately think less of your photo. Rather than saying photoshopped, just tell them that you developed your photo on the computer. In reality, many of the adjustments you make on the computer can be made while developing film.
Make your own list.
Every good photographer has their own list of tips for success. So, you should make your own list! A list helps you remember some of the highlights of your own technique and is an interesting thing to share with fellow photographers. Just remember, there is no harm with borrowing tips from others. So go out, make a list, and take some photos!
