I dont think I there is a magic formula that guarantees "good photos",other than technical know how and a lot of luck.When I go out with my camera I have nothing in mind what I will capture with it.It usually is the spur of the moment-the colour of the sky,or the bird/insect who appears into view.
Of course there are truly accomplished photographers on this site who have the gear and know how to produce a great photo out of the blandest subject.
Also there are those that specialise in certain subjects and I am in awe of their techniques to capture what they do!
I have seen good photos produced on the cheapest cameras,and dont forget people view them in different ways.Accept advice,learn as you go but try not to get too worried that your photos dont come up to the mark.Be bold and post some-you may be surprised,I know I am always amazed that some of my photos get a comment or two,and I know that I have lots of room for improvement!!!
I am enjoying my camera and in time my efforts are improving-however slight,its all a learning curve
