10 tips for newbie photographers

I'm not all-knowing on photography or even close, and my professional career as a photographer has just begun. But I'm curious and I have learned my share of tricks, and I found that the most important things to remember aren't about equipment or numbers.

Alice in Wonderland, and 3D.

I finally watched a movie that uses the new 3D technology. After watching Up at home and Avatar in a non-3d theater, I went to see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. I thought it was about time I finally tried it out and I was excited that it would be with a movie with so much visual potential. Conclusion: I'm never ever going to pay for 3D again. Oh, and I didn't really like the movie either.

About luck.

I just read a quote on a friend's Facebook page, it goes like this:

"Synchronicity holds the promise that if we will change within, the patterns in our outer life will change also. If the people and events of our lives are here because we have drawn them here, then what happens in our lives apparently by chance or fortune is not really accidental."

People often misunderstand concepts like fortune, luck or accidental. I feel I should use this opportunity to explain with some detail what these ideas mean to me.
