Once you become technically proficient in camera operation it should simply become a tool for your vision.

i like this a little
the blue is nice
the silhouette is nice
the perspective isn't great (camera tilting up)
the framing also isn't great (the street is cut off awkwardly, I can see heads and shoulders; and I think the silhouette would be more effective against the sky than in front of the building).

terrible
shaky handheld slow shutter speed
overexposed highlights
awkward perspective (tilted down and askew horizontally)
also a bit gray and dull tonally

Control. A sense of ease? It wouldn't hurt, I think, for you to plan your shots, at least have a few in mind next time you go out. "I will photograph x, y and z, and anything else that takes my fancy along the way." It can feel a little aimless wandering around town otherwise. You might find a tripod small enough to fit in your pocket handy, too. That will allow you to take advantage of your camera's night mode (if it has such a thing).

On that pic the subject is too dark, if it was daytime the shot would be good
Basically the picture is set up to draw your attention to the statue but its all dark so you cant see shit
What lens did you you use? You probably just needed a fast lens and a f 1.4-f 2.0 setting for that shot

Subject, lighting, composition -that's the triangle of photography. Your pictures fall short in all of the above. The subject is boring and there's no regard of the light or framing.

Soul because chilangos don't have any

Look at the overall shapes, and the subject should be most prominent or draw the eye, squint your eyes and see the shapes, what stands out.

You totally fucked the first photo, is it a troll? You should have had the statue with a sky background but you've made it look like a dalek.

Photography (especially when not staged) is the art of curating what you want to appear in an image. You are doing this backwards. Ask yourself: what was the ideal image I wanted, and what is getting in the way?

> I have a digishit
Most people will probably tell you a good photographer can make great pictures on any camera and they are right. However, I don't think anyone can become a good photographer with any camera. First reason is, if you don't have full manual control over your camera, you won't learn the technique necessary to achieve your vision. Second is, to become a good photographer, you must enjoy the act of taking photos regardless of the result, which is very difficult on a digishit. Third reason is, nobody including yourself will take you seriously with your digishit, and that's important because any good art need someone with enough confidence to create their vision and put it out there.

> Am I a talented photographer?
The honest answer is, I don't know, but realistically no you're a clueless amateur. Not because your photos suck, but because you posted only 2. Exceptional masterpieces aside, photography works in series, like poem do. Each image work to strengthen a general vision you want to communicate. By posting those 2 photos, you show me that you have not put a tenth of the effort needed to communicate something interesting through your art. You must do better. Make a series of at least 10 photos that communicate a concept or vibe you can explain in 1 sentence. Then we can see if you're good at photography; for now you're not even fully committing to the medium yet, just making the least possible effort using it.
