  Thank you so much. This is good :). Numbers 4, 5, and 9 are so challenging to me. Especially number 9, as I hold on so tight that I don't post pictures. Thanks for the encouragement!!

  I would say also in addition to learning light (which should come first) would be to learn composition, as that can also make/break a photo (and included with learning basic composition, work the scene -- like was mentioned -- as you can sometimes find comipelling images if you just change your perspective, or zoom in/out, and focus on simplier scenes).<br><br>One tip I learned (and it was from a portrait photographer, but can apply to any genre really, for the most part) is after you take a photo -- look at it, and ask yourself &quot;what is wrong with the photo?&quot; &nbsp;Take a moment to review your photo (you&apos;re not chimping necessarily but your analyzing your photo to see how you can improve it, either by getting in closer, moving back and zooming out, etc). &nbsp;But stop and ask yourself &quot;What is wrong with this photo?&quot; and go from there. &nbsp;It forces you to slow down and actually look at what you&apos;re getting. &nbsp;I&apos;m not saying you have t odo this after every single shot, but shoot a few and then take a moment to review your images, and you&apos;ll get into &nbsp;a habit of looking for things that can impact your photo in a negative way (like distracting elements) and so then as time goes on, you&apos;ll be able to identify these while your composing in the viewfinder.

  I think the #6 habit is for me the most difficult when you mainly shoot when walking with family or friends. In those circumstances, you can only take 2-3 frames under a short lap of time. I really struggle with this, because when back home looking at the result, I realize that it would be better if I moved like this or that, etc... I am still wondering how I can improve my capability to see the perfect frame quickly...

  #9 hits home really hard. Been in that state for years now... and it&apos;s an annoying place to be at...

  Feels like photography is alike gambling 😂<br><br>I myself must admit waiting is really good, had harsh lighting from the front, waited for the sun to go more down and made the best photo I&apos;ve made 🙌🏻

  Love the emphasis on habits over gear! Habit #4 and #6 really hit home for me. Taking that extra minute to look around is so simple yet so powerful. Thanks for the inspiration!
