7. Don't want to join the community
Maybe you are one of the people who are reluctant to join the community. You need to remember, photography communities are one way to improve your photo skills. You can share with friends who can help if you have difficulties. Now there are also many online photography communities that you can join.
8. Too focused on editing photos
Editing does take up a lot of time. But if your focus is on photography, don't focus more on editing your photos, as a result your photos will look unnatural. Unless you focus on digital imaging, which prioritizes editing.
9. Show off equipment
Not a few people like to show off and be stylish with the equipment they own. Some people even like to carry their red ring lenses everywhere even though they rarely use them.
10. Not focusing on one type of photography
There's nothing wrong with continuing to learn if you have new knowledge. But don't let yourself go too far... There are people whose friends like modeling photos, take part in modeling photos, when food photos are trending, they take food photos, and so on. If you are like this, believe me you will be ineffective. It would be better if you knew what your interests were and continued to hone them until you were really good at wanking inside and out.
11. Doesn't want to accept input
Sometimes there are quite a few people who like this. I just want to be praised, but as soon as someone gives me input and advice, I immediately defend myself fiercely. Who feels like this...? However, input and suggestions don't want to bring you down, they can actually improve your skills. But ask for opinions from people who really understand photography, okay?
12. Rarely take photos
This is the main factor why a photographer's skills do not develop. Some say that you can do it because you get used to it. This also applies to taking photos. How can you be good if you keep your camera hidden in the drybox all the time?
