![]() ![]() Why have a slice of cake when you can have the whole thing? That’s not to say that photographers don’t know how to relax, but we would rather capture the surroundings of the location than waste our time sleeping on the beach.The 30mph speed camera in Maybray King Way, Southampton, caught 51,049 motorists driving over the limit between 20, triggering more than 320 times a week at its peak. We want to be reminded of our traveling experiences with physical memories-photographs of our experiences. For most people, traveling is more about relaxing-building strong memories to last a lifetime. Traveling is more about photography than it is relaxing.įinally, we have come to my favorite point of all: traveling. At least we then have a reason to get offended, right? I mean, how would you feel if someone came up to you and said you had a big nose? Is that more of a justified reason to act offended? If you’re a photographer, then the answer is no. What do you want me to do about the size of my camera? Do you think I didn’t notice? People don’t seem to understand that if you insult the camera, then you might as well insult the camera owner. “Your camera looks too big,” for example, is just unnecessary criticism. You are offended when someone makes a harsh comment about your camera. Instead, they’re exploring the beauty of the world around them too much to worry about themselves. You see, photographers (in most cases) very rarely take photos of themselves. Maybe you’re a model? But if you’re uploading it to Facebook for only your friends and family to see, then maybe you can understand why photographers get irritated. Okay, in some cases, it can be a justified purchase. When you take photography seriously, just like any other form of art, nothing is worse than people who purchase the latest and the greatest cameras only to take photos of themselves. You get annoyed at people who buy top-of-the-line cameras only to take selfies. “Topcon Unirex Open” captured by Christer 6. But for photographers, it’s the sound of the camera shutter-knowing that a high quality photograph will be a result of the shutter. For some, the sound of birds is pleasurable for others, it’s math equations (is that even a thing?). It’s like music to my ears, and I know many people who can relate. There is nothing I love more than the sound of a camera shutter. You think the sound of a camera shutter is pleasurable. For photographers, this is the harsh reality of being addicted to using a camera. For most “normal” people, this is simply unfathomable. Unfortunately, photographers must face the constant annoyance of having their camera battery die before their phone battery. The camera batteries do not last a lifetime. However, this comes with negative repercussions. Regardless of the event, the camera will be glued to the photographer’s hand for that perfect moment to take a quick photo. Photographers are known best for having their cameras with them at all times. Your camera battery runs out before any other gadget. Maybe it’s a picture of a trash can or a brick wall-whatever it is, you begin to think outside the box you begin to take pictures, and you develop a sense of what makes good photographs, regardless of what other people may think. Basically, as a photographer, you see potential photographs that most people couldn’t imagine being a photograph. I mean, maybe you can turn a piece of dog poo into art, but that’s not entirely the point I’m trying to make. Okay, so this one might be stretching it, if we’re taking the point literally. ![]() “Sunset Photographer” captured by Marco Monetti 3. Unfortunately, there is (arguably) no tool that can give you perfect lighting other than taking a photo at the right time, at the right angle, and using the lighting of the situation to your advantage. ![]() You begin to realize that there’s more to a good photo than the equipment (although it’s still one of my many pleasures) You realize that the the lighting of the photograph is the important part. Lighting > EquipmentĪt some stage in a photographer’s life, there comes a point when having the best equipment just doesn’t cut it. Your body has adapted to your photography addiction, and it doesn’t recognize when something is drastically wrong. And the only reason you don’t know you’re missing your camera until you get to the beach is because you’re so used to it being in your hands it’s almost second nature. ![]() When you go to take a picture, your heart drops. For instance, maybe you decide to go for a walk down to the beach and accidentally leave your camera sitting on the kitchen bench. I feel as though every photographer knows this feeling. You get upset when you don’t have your camera on you. “Happy Photographer” captured by Kicki 1. ![]()
