Ah-Ha Moment Week 5
When I read this paragraph within my studying "With the dawn of the digital age in photography we no longer have to worry about film processing costs or running out of shots. As a result, experimenting with our photos' composition has become a real possibility; we can fire off tons of shots and delete the unwanted ones later at absolutely no extra cost. Take advantage of this fact and experiment with your composition - you never know whether an idea will work until you try it" it was an ah-ha moment for me because I hadn't really thought of taking lots and lots of photos of the same picture to capture that perfect one. It is so true that we are no longer limited in this day and age with exposures. So this week I am gonna let it rip with my camera and take as many shots as I can and see if I can get better results.

I feel the same way Heidi. I just assumed that I'd have a good photograph if I just picked up the camera and snapped a shot. But after this week's reading work I found so many helpful tips to taking better photographs and the more of the same thing/subject the better chance we have to taking the "perfect" shot!
ReplyDeleteHeidi, I totally agree that its easy to forgot the luxury of being able to take lots of shots. I definitely have found some of my favorite pictures from being able to pick out of a handful of tries.
ReplyDeleteGood idea, Heidi. If you think of every element of composition and take a shot of the same subject matter, but emphasize each different element, imagine how cool that would be.
ReplyDeleteAs for your framing images this week, I'm afraid you took the concept a bit too literally. It's not so much you use a frame (like a window or mirror) but you find something occurring naturally in the shot to create a frame at least on two out of the four dimensions of the photo. A tree branch across the top of your landscape might be a good example if there were woods or a tree trunk on one of the vertical sides.
Heidi, I remember how excited I was when I got my first digital camera because I could take as many pictures as my battery and space on my computer would allow. I think I still have a few rolls of undeveloped film kicking around in boxes because I didn't have the time or money to get them developed at the time.
