“It is more important to click with people than to click with shutter.” — Alfred Eisenstaedt
Learning from other photographers is always great. Check out for weekend photo walks. Connect with fellow photographers, learn new things, and grow your network.
Join a local photo club or group, check out Meetup for photography related stuff in your area, look up local organizations, or ask a friend in photography for their recommendations.

There are lots of photos websites and apps for viewing photos. Find your niche and watch lots of photos for inspiration. Right now I am addicted to Instagram, I follow some great accounts that post other photographers pictures, also search using hashtags and browse through awesome photographs.

“Your first 10,000 photographs are worst.” — Jim Richardson.
If you click more then only you learn more. You don’t need a good place to click, you can make ugly place to look better through your photography. It’s not about flashy big city or landscapes it’s about how you see what’s around you, patience you have to actually explore things. Practice makes man perfect. Go out and start taking photos. Don’t worry if you don’t have DSLR, take out your smartphone and start clicking what you like.
