A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Where do I practice? (alien.top)

I’m new to photography and I am really motivated to go out and practice. But since it’s becoming winter, it’s almost always dark when I get home from work. Since I live in a very rural area street photography at night is also not a very good option. Do you guys have any recommendations on what I can shoot and where I can go to do so? Thanks

The secret to good photos is lighting. Dynamic lighting.

12 noon when the sun is overhead is garbage.

Sunrise or sunset is the best. Especially if the light bounces off or filters through something. You get some really nice photos.

Christmas time has lots of lights and decorations up. You can take pictures with those in the background.

You also need a good subject. A lot of YouTubers bring their girlfriend or female friends. I personally bring my dogs although they are horrible subjects. As dashing as they look, they move around. I got a wife but shes not interested in my antics lol.
