Photo that I have Improved as a Photographer This photo shows that I have improved as a photographer. Before taking Digital Imagery, I didn't know any rules of composition or techniques for portraits. In this photo, I used one of the ten techniques to take stunning portraits and I filled the frame (something rarely done in my photos/portraits of people). The most important thing I have learned as a photographer to date is (though this photo is not a good example) using the Rule of Thirds. It really makes photos much better and more interesting, and I am glad to have learned this rule in photography.
