Learning

November 26th, 2008

Pho­tog­ra­phy,  just like any oth­er skill, means that if you want to stay on top, you need to be con­stant­ly learning.

Recent­ly, I thought that there was not much more that I could learn, but after being on a 3 day course recent­ly, I’m not as smart as I think I am. Very humbling.

Many pho­tog­ra­phers tell you that you need to under­stand the rules of pho­tog­ra­phy, the most com­mon and sim­ple one is the rule of thirds.
They will also tell you that the rules are there to be broken.

At the moment, I am try­ing hard to learn more about the mag­ic of light, and how I can use my cam­era to cap­ture the light.

Like any learn­ing process, it takes time but I am real­ly enjoy­ing look­ing at every­thing with a pho­to­graph­ic eye.

But like any good pho­tog­ra­ph­er, I will apply the “rules are there to be broken”-rule when it makes me look good.
Cam­era shake? I pre­fer to call it, Oh I don’t know… “An artis­tic quiver”?
Out of Focus? Lets call it from now on “Gauss­ian blur!”
Or, you could just con­vert to black and white, and every­ones happy!

Enjoy these pictures.

    I like the run­ning sheep pho­tos. Very nice, espe­cial­ly the solo sheep pho­to. Keep it up.

    Joe, Joe, Joe. Don’y give him too many ideas for excuses!

    You know who I mean.
