When i started with my hobby,my primary aim was to share the beauty i see in this world. Photography was an effort for me to capture something,show it to my friends and say"Look at this..this is how beautiful it was..this is how special it was...
So i didn't want to miss the moment. I was afraid that if i don't capture it i will never get a chance to capture something so i never gave too much of a thought before clicking. As a result i ended up with far too many of pictures which i couldn't show to anyone let alone the fellow enthusiasts who expect something special.It was too normal...It was too unprofessional.
There was no "me" in them. They were pictures which "anybody" could have taken...
The real difference happened when i started spending more time with the scene and tried to sink into the soul of the place. Suddenly i was able to see things which i would have normally missed on a shallow frame of mind. I was able to look at things on a whole new perspective and was able to predict the anticipate the moments a lot more easily.
That i think has made the biggest difference in my journey so far.
Think more, click less
Delete more, show less.
Focus more on subject selection,perspective and composition and practice your instinct and skills to improve on these. The greatest photographers,we all admire have got these three things figured out clearly more than anything else.
And that has made all the difference.
Happy shooting!
