Here's a secret tip for making better photographs—look for great light.That's something of which I've always been dimly aware. but phrasing it like that really threw a switch in my head, almost like turning on a light, if you will...
You gotta get used to looking at light rather than at the thingy-ness of the world. It's not those things you're photographing—it's those things in that light. Light is ever-changing, and the same thing or scene will look completely different in different light. Great light helps make great photographs.
