To all fellow photographer who wish to improve their work .....
I am sure many are wondering and seeking how you guys will quickly learn photography and start taking stunning images .... well learning photography is not one day job .... and it depends on many thing ... Allow me to simply things for you which you have to consider while learning ...
1- People response over your images: .... Here is the deal, if 1000 viewers watching you image right now then expect 1000 or more response/critics from them ..... and most probably 90~95% will be -ve / with suggestions which will be very very hard to digest at the initial level. Thats where you guys needs to have strong feet to stand against all those -ve comments and have patience to digest them. Remember .... all precious metals and Gems were in carbon form before the "HEAT" of earth mould them into something precious ..... If there is no -ve then how you will recognise +ve :)
2- Learning from People not from Book: .... Learning from books will make walk in straight line as per rule but Book will not going to teach you "Thinking out of the box" ...... you need to create your own box .... and have to get out from it all by yourself :) . When you see more people work, your brain start adapting and moulding itself into different directions .... and thats where you need to decide in which direction you can excel. In my humble suggestion .... watching other photographer work's is the "BEST" source to learn. Question is how you will know which one is the best .... its very simple .... there are plenty of photography websites are available. Flickr.com / 500px.com / youpic.com etc etc ... the more you watch ... the more your eyes will get train and more you automatically learn rather then wondering how particular shot can be taken .... And yes .... don't waste your valuable time in asking question. Google it by yourself and seek help ONLY if your brain stop working literally. in 99% of times you can find all answers of your photography related question by just googling it ..... TRUST ME.
3- Follow the RULES: ..... It is true that rules are made to follow. They are made to "regulate" photography and also your work. But ..... At the same time, some say rules are meant to be broken. But by breaking rules doesn't mean that you cannot take sun image with f/2.8 aperture .... or trying to take daylight images at 1000 ISO. You can do all this ..... condition provided if your image is holding itself pretty well against all these odd dialed EXIF values and "PLEASING" to viewer eyes at the same time ...... Yes ... images must be pleasing to the eye else you will be giving opportunity to the people to start finger pointing about your image starting from the WRONG EXIF values :) .... If you know what i mean :)
3- Forget about Camera Gear: ..... I need one full frame camera with ultra mega super duper hyper mega pixel resolution & with lens that can capture planet MARS .... i often hear such kind of comments from beginners and some passionate photo. My question is very simple .... Will you able to drive formula 1 race car if you dont even know how to change the gear or at what speed you should turn the car at the corners? .... Remember the best camera is the one which you have .... Yes there are some practical limitations of crop body camera verses full frame camera but question is, Is your skill level worth having full frame bodies? Do you really know how to take sharp focus at f/1.4 in low light situation? ..... Know your machine first and practice as much as you can .... its not even worth a dime if you don't know what a full frame camera can do and you shooting it in AUTO MODE ..... and trust me there will be a time come when you will have enough practice using crop body cameras that full frame will be piece of cake for your guys when you switch to it .... but again ... practice practice and only practice .... I saw many photographer taking some really stunning images from crappy camera / Point & Shoot and cell phones .... i am sure all of us heard this ... ITS NOT THE MACHINE THATS MAKES THE DIFFERENCE .... ITS THE MAN BEHIND THE MACHINE .... in other words i am sure you really dont like to hear this comment from any one that ones you show them your a normal photo taken by a full frame camera .... "Ghanta taswer layne aate nahe hay .... SHOW OFF Salaa ...." ... Dont invest on gear unless you learn how to use it and where to use it .... now many will say .... how we learn unless we buy them and try them ..... fine ... go for it .... but start from low .... don't jump high ....
4- You ... Yourself is a brand: Dont get impress from other photographer .... what other photographer are doing may be your mind is not wired to do it. Some are crazy for black and white images (like myself) .... some only like to take city scape (like Danial K Choang) ..... some are king in Macro (like Omer Saddat) .... some are Portrait king (there is a long list of names in this category ..... majority takes only female portrait only :) ..... in short develop your OWN TASTE and then do practice as much as you can in that particular taste so the whole world knows you because of your that particular style :)
5- Give respect take respect : I dont have to explain in detail about this one :)
hope you guys will not find it boring ….
Happy Clicking ...
