What you might notice when going through photo folders of years gone by, are subjects you've photographed a lot, composition quality improvement, and not all cameras take good photos.
Clouds. I have a lot of cloud pictures. Moon. Lots of those pics as well. Plants. Like I'll forget what basil and nasturtiums look like. Autumn. Season favoritism shows.
You can be engaged in pursuing adjustments in your life when other things you do merge, enter the room, have a sit down on the brain until you figure out why it deserves a seat. Becoming a better photographer deserves a seat in my mind is a no brainer.
Style. Are you a good photographer, candid picture taker or have a lens why not record an image? I think it depends on the moment and what you are looking at.
I can be all three at the same time. Attitude prevails. What doesn't enter the picture is the effort to improve my skill as a photographer of any style level. Thus, with a depression dip to deal with, I'm now into learning photography. An item on the lists you see on websites for how to get out of a depression surge, is to learn or do something new.
Below are a couple of links to get you started, if you have the mind to pursue photography improvement.

I wish you much success in having fun with your photography at whatever level of expertise you are comfortable with.
I've feel encouraged to improve my photography skills after watching a fantastic YouTube video by professional photographer, Drew Simms.
An Outstanding video
I think it's really nice that you are learning something new. I took a black and white Photography class in college, and to see the pictures develop right before my eyes in the dark room was a thrill for me! One of my assignments was actually "shadows" as you have shown in this picture today. Have fun learning about Photography. I do love your photos. : )

Sheri,
ReplyDeleteA black and white photograph course is a must. There is so much you can learn with B&W.
Shadows aren't easy to photograph for me.
I loved the yellowstone video-thanks
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteI was going to email you the link!
The video of the wolf is absolutely fabulous.
I love taking photographs but I have never done a course. Maybe…
ReplyDeleteMarie,
ReplyDeleteTaking an online course can be intimidating.
I'm mustering the courage to read through at least one online photography course. :)
My camera has been dropped too many times on its head. It doesn't have quite the sharpness that it did. I'm planning to get a new one before we travel -- enough time to learn it! You're right about evaluating your old and newer photos! Fortunately, our skills grow!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Camera!
The research can be daunting. Every search, I have to start from scratch. Good luck.
I'm in the process of going through pre-2022 blog posts and removing the links because many of them are no longer 'live' and I've noticed my photography skills have improved somewhat. Practice, maybe? Or maybe a different camera is making a difference.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
ReplyDeleteCameras do make a difference. But, we do improve with time as well.
Thanks for the photography links, May. I keep telling myself I want to do something like this, but never actually do it.
ReplyDeleteBecki,
ReplyDeleteLet us both hope we finally take one of the courses. :)
