Taking pictures has to do a lot with technique, but after all, everything that matters is that you add your own point of view to a picture. It does not matter if there is grain, motion blurr or a strange perspective, all that matters is that you are doing something that will move others. There are a lot of different ways how you can achieve this, just look at those 6 examples:

1. Take a picture noone has seen yet

2. Take a picture of someone in a unique pose

3. Take a picture that offers stunning beauty

4. Take a picture of a place that makes people want to be there

5. Take a picture of a place where people are afraid to go to

6. Take a picture with that tells an amazing story

7. Just make sure that you take a picture someone else wants to reproduce, getting ripped off means you are doing something right!

Let’s run this down, first of all you have to know what you want to do, you can either do this by trial and error, plan out whatever you are doing and arrange it, or get a concept of randomness. If you strive for a concept shooting, you should be sure that every tiny aspect of your picture turns out perfect, so you have to be sure that you know what you are doing. A good place to start your education of digital photography is the digital photography school or browsing dslr forums.

Photos of the same subject in the same angle without another perspective are simply a waste of time, they might be beautifully crafted, but after all they are nothing more than another picture that will not change the world. Rather be crass and hated by half the people who watch the picture than end up in the mediocre world, at least that is what I think about this .
