I used to feel completely overwhelmed by photography, but I realized that learning the basics doesn’t take as long as you think. In just one weekend, I dove into the fundamentals—composition, exposure triangle, and lighting—by watching tutorials, reading articles, and practicing as much as I could. I didn’t try to learn everything at once; I focused on one thing at a time. The result? I went from taking blurry, poorly lit shots to capturing crisp, well-exposed photos in just a few days. The best part? It didn’t cost a thing. All I needed was my camera and some time to practice. If you’re looking to improve quickly, focus on the core skills first, and don’t stress about being perfect. Consistency and practice are key to improving fast.
