There are three ways to take great photographs:
1) Go to the most interesting places
2) Take photos at the most perfect moment
3) Have a great understanding of light
You don't need to do all three, just any one of them is enough. But the camera can be anything if you do one of those three things.
- LeafItAlone 4y agoI’d argue that 1) isn’t even a good way to take “great” photos. I have been to very interesting places and my pictures are still terrible and not “great”.
- chrstphrknwtn 4y agoI don't think these describe qualities of great photographs. What is an interesting place? Or the perfect moment? Or great light? These are all pretty subjective. What defines a 'great photo' is so subjective and loaded, that it's basically pointless to discuss in the abstract.

- _visgean 4y agoA lot of street photographers would disagree with you, sometimes taking an interesting angle of everyday place is far more interesting because it gives people a new way of looking at something they experience themselves..
