Your progression in photography

It’s always fun to look back on our beginnings and cringe at the mistakes we have since learned are mistakes. It’s also a nice reminder that with a little bit of practice and hard work, we will always continue to get better. So, let’s share some of our earlier work compared with more recent work.I’ll get this party started.My first proper foray in to street photography (taken in Salzburg in 2003 on a Canon Elph 35mm point and shoot) versus current street work (from March this year on a Minolta X-700 & 45 f/2). Last time I was in Salzburg I tried to recreate the shot because I always loved it, but now I see it’s many room for improvement - namely the potential of scale if I had gotten lower and watching the framing and not including those people on the right. Sadly, I was unable to find the location.A landscape from 2008 on a Canon Rebel XTi with a 18-55 kit lens versus a landscape from last month on a Fujifilm X-T1 & 56 1.2. I thought that NZ shot was the height of artistry. Now all I see is a heavily weighted and unbalanced frame around a whole lot of nothing.Portrait from 2007 on the aforementioned Rebel versus a portrait from last month with the same Fujifilm set-up. The man in the 2007 portrait was a glass blower. At the time, I thought the orange helped tell the story, but now I realise that a better way to have done that was to capture his craft in his glasses, not make him look like an oompa loompa.tl;dr: Share your before and afters! Bonus points for including what you'd do differently now. via /r/photography http://bit.ly/2DHN6Bh
