The Silence

I have not been writing much. Why? Quite simple. One thing that I have learnt in my quest to learn photography is that this is a slow process. Photography is made up of several aspects:

  • Skill, as in technique
  • Composition, the artistic side
  • Science, a little like skill bit with more emphasis on lighting and optics rather than camera handling
  • Post processing. Yep, my friends, most pros and amateurs alike fake their pictures, oops! I meant post process quite a bit.

So in order to get good pictures one needs to master all of the above. Then there is equipemnt which is not cheap. Put all this together for a person who has a life, as in a job and a family, things tend to get slow. But don't worry, I have been taking pictures steadily.

To keep up to date with some of the pictures I am taking you can look at my pictures on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mogambo.

I actually think that learning photography is enough to make people go insane. BUt it is worth doing. Before I knew what I was doing I went out and bought a canon 7d. This was probably a big mistake, because I rely far too much on the camera to get the shots that I want. Don't get me wrong, its awesome to have a great camera, but the problem is, I didn't, and haven't really learned how to take pictures the right way, because my camera really does it all for me.

I do know that there are some great tools out there though. What are some of the books or tools that you have learned of that have made a difference? I would be interested to know.

Thanks and keep plugging along.
