In the blog we repeatedly emphasize the importance of putting into practice all the tips we give you, in fact, we have the weekly challenge section in which every week I remind you that the purpose of the challenge is to practice. Well, we all know that any activity has to be done to learn, it’s not new, but there’s more. Practicing photography has more benefits than you think, and that’s what I’m going to talk about today. My goal with today’s article is to motivate you to dust off your camera and take photos. Shall we get started? Take it easy because it’s getting interesting.
The most common when you buy your first camera or get it (if you’re lucky?) You feel the “anxiety” of releasing it and you start photographing everything you see without even reading the instruction manual. It’s more common than you think. If you’re not in this group, congratulations!If you are there, you still have time to remedy a greater evil;). Practice will help you manage your team using your camera’s instructions and tips that you can find among the many blog posts. If you don’t train, you can get frustrated in advance and leave your camera permanently.
- The photo eye is a gift you may have “made” if you touched the magic wand by building your DNA or a skill you can develop with photographic practice.
- Normally it is an ability to develop.
- Because the magic wand of “extraordinary gifts” is very exquisite and works on rare occasions.
- So you have to resort to practice to develop and improve this indispensable skill in photography.
While black-and-white photography is still fashionable centuries later and we also love it for many reasons that are not relevant today, not all photographs are beautiful in black and white, you need to know which scenes are favored in grayscale, here we tell you what they are, however, as far as you know the theory, you will only really learn it if you practice , you err, you get it right, you fail again and you end up doing things right, always through practice.
The more you practice, the better you will become and, as you get better, you will notice the missing photos in life, with a poor composition or a very improveable light. When you’re able to do constructive self-criticism, you may be able to continue. To improve, as you can see, it’s like a “vicious” circle, do you practice, improve, criticize and outperform by practicing?
If you’re driving, you probably remember the first time you got behind the wheel and wondered how you’d be able to control the clutch, throttle, speeds at the same time, look in the mirrors, hang from the car in front and also not to get off the road. Of course, it was unimaginable to think about turning on the radio or lowering the windows!What have you done and besides, you’re not even aware that you’re doing it?
Well, with photography the same thing happens, the first time you spend half an hour adjusting is O, shutter speed, depth of field, white balance, light measurement, focus, framing, reflection on composition . . . In short, no matter the disappearance of an ephemeral scene before shooting, you take a churro photo or end up using automatic mode and, honestly, for that you don’t want an SLR or similar camera, right?, because it’s all these settings like gears, clutch, mirrors, radio?There comes a time when you do it without thinking, almost automatically, allowing you to be faster. And, of course, how do we do it?Bingo!With practice!
Again, I will name these lucky people who were born with a gift, to remind you that most of us are earthly beings who have not been blessed by the magic wand and are doing things with effort and based on practice. your photos should have “extra” content beyond aesthetics, sharpness or color, if you want your photos to tell a story, you will need to practice properly to improve your photographic eye. A good photograph usually contains a good story. take good photos? Practices?
If you really have photography in your blood, go out with your camera, get closer to people, live the scenes, meet your subjects to make a portrait that moves and tells something, you are probably going to make friends. Photography, like any other hobby, unites the people who share it, and I don’t mean the virtual friendships that you can make in forums, on social networks for photography or whatever, which are contacts, after all, you might end up being more “friendly” with some of them, but if you don’t meet in person, if you don’t have a face-to-face discussion and share your passion live and live. Similarly, if you leave your camera in a closet, The only friends you can make are moths?
If you like photography because you have the point of artist and in case you have not been clear, the main purpose of art is to excite it, you can read this article and forget about it at twenty-four hours, or you can read it and follow the advice of the camera that has at hand to really learn to vibrate.
When you buy an SLR camera (or any other camera that buys a person who likes photography with manual controls), you make a significant investment, especially when you want to expand the equipment and invest in other accessories, whether lenses or any other. Camera, which is the norm, doesn’t anyone want to invest at all?Nobody buys a car to have in a garage, or a high-end cell phone to store in a drawer, right?Well, having your camera in your case in a closet is the same thing, a crime, yes, yes, a crime, throwing money away, so it’s hard to earn it!If you don’t want this to happen to you, use it.
This may seem like a cheap psychology or a tobacco sale, but it really isn’t. When you develop a skill you love, what do you do right? It makes you feel better, that you gain more security in certain circumstances (I was more than a disgrace because I was asked for pictures and I ate a churro or spent three hours adjusting or looking with the buttons?) Practice will allow you to control this art and feel good about shooting and sharing your achievements.
I think ten benefits are more than enough to convince you, don’t you think?Otherwise, I booked the most important thing for the end. If you like photography it’s because you like it and you can’t have fun if you don’t. Yes, sometimes it’s also frustrating (raising the hand that didn’t pass by), yet, despite the frustrations, a hobby is for fun, and if you don’t practice it, where’s the fun?
You’ll make me happy if you tell me I’ve convinced you and happier if you help me convince other people a little confused to take their cameras out of the dark corner where they’re kept.
