Study images you like
Study the rule of thirds
Take lots of photos trying to use the rule of thirds and post them for critique.

If you put in the work and ask for feedback people will help you get better. It's not something everyone is born doing easily, some have natural talent but the other 98% work hard to make it look easy.

Bullshit

It is all just practice and training. It isn't natural for probably 90% or better to be able to pick up a camera and take a great photo or even to see a great image worth trying to capture. If you practice and study what makes a good picture you can train your eye to do this though.

I don't know maybe I fall into the exception since I started in third grade, but I honestly believe anyone can take good photographs if they practice at it.

I respectfully disagree.

Anyone can learn the technical aspects of photography...itll be fine moms scrapbook or in your vacation photo album...but it doesnt mean itll be a work of art.
