From a Different Angle 2
and then again 4, I mentioned, “Piece of advice; never delete ANY of
your photographs, you may take an interest in photoshop and need them
one day.”
I cannot
emphasize this enough. Some people, very
few now-a-days, may never use photoshop, but as you are reading a blog,
you are likely to be writing one, or commenting on one soon. That funny/bad photo you deleted? “Hell, it would have been perfect for…”
The first photo is a closeup of a crocodiles tail, I must admit some
of my shots have been a bit risky; but I am still more weary of a hippo
than a croc.
I am not sure what I will use this photograph for, but taking my own advice I am going to keep it.
Some of the photos in this series are going to be poor quality, as
they were taken with a cell phone camera, and not a very good cell phone
at that! We all get those moments when we curse the fact that our
camera is not with us. Or living in South Africa, it has been stolen!
They are here just to show “looking from a different angle.”
A person can have the best equipment money can buy, and get a high
quality, mega pixel, in focus shot every time, no problem. But then the
composition can be lousy, no matter how interesting the subject is, and
if the shot is not pleasing to the eye, is a snapshot, nothing more,
nothing less.
So you go learn all about composition, the “rule of thirds”, and even
take it further and go for the rule of 5ths. Your photographs are now
100% better, but still not THE best.
At
Photography 101
we will not only teach you the above, but will show you how to LOOK,
first with your own eyes and only then through the view finder. Some
people have a gift, they not only think, but also see,
From a Different Angle. I believe the two are inter-related and that in order to SEE, one first has to THINK…..from a different angle. And
that is what we shall teach you way beyond just the basic skills.
This is an educational club where amateurs and professionals can join
