Motorists know very well when to change gears. They know their car so well that, when driving it, they feel that the engine “talks” them in third, fourth or fifth gear.
I have no pet and I am surprised how pet owners usually communicate with their pets naturally and spontaneously, as if they were human, know how to tell you if your pet is hungry, happy, lazy or angry. It’s amazing. But if you can guess if the animal feels sorry for a mischief it did, how do you know if animals don’t articulate a word?Okay, in the Parrot case, maybe that’s the case?
- Similarly.
- You need to know your camera perfectly.
- Whatever the brand.
- Whatever the model.
- No one should know how to handle your camera better than you.
- No one should.
- Behind you.
- With their hands in their pockets and half a liter of knowledge.
- Everything.
- Go and tell you what manual settings to apply to your camera as you struggle with it as if it’s the first time you’ve touched it.
- It’s your camera and you must know it better than anyone.
- Better than its manufacturer if you hurry.
- Of course.
- This understanding and relationship is not made overnight.
- It is not done by buying “the best camera in the world” and letting it get bored to death in a sad drawer.
- Achieving these levels of complicity and relationship often requires intimacy with your camera.
- Exploring it patiently and very carefully.
- You must “talk” to him often.
- Listen to him.
- How do you do it?Use it in manual mode.
No more, no less. I know there’s a high chance you don’t know how to handle your camera’s manual mode, but it’s okay, the important thing is that you try. Use it frequently, dare to play with all its features, don’t let anything stop you. Gradually you will meet her and begin to have this extraordinary ability to “guess” her behavior. You’ll start to know her, how your little one reacts to the situations you’re in, and so you’ll learn how to handle it according to the context.
I have a feeling that, on an equal footing, a child would know our SLR camera before (and better) than we do. Have you seen the face of hope and curiosity a child puts on when he leaves a camera for the first time?He beats her, hugs her fearlessly, as if he wasn’t afraid of her. Find out, play without fear, explore all its buttons and functions. He does it with passion, eagerness, as if looking for something, as if he needed answers.
Dare to play with your SLR camera, explore it fearlessly and know it as the back of your hand I promise you the result will be rewarding?
