Getting started is hard...very hard. So the few words that I type on this post carry a lot of weight. It's one thing to have good notions and great ideas swimming in your head and totally different world getting even a small part of that implemented. Here's to finally kicking things off.
This blog will focus on things related to photography. We all need some place to start and I've decided to start with the mundane; discussions about photography technique. The concepts are widely known among folks familiar with digital cameras but can be a little daunting when you first pick one up. Hopefully, the information on this blog will help you understand and master your camera. Over time this knowledge will bubble through to the back of your head, you'll be able to recall this information without a second thought. Once you make it to this stage you'll be able to focus on the real reason you bought a camera; to make good images.
Do not mistake understanding your camera for understanding photography. Digital cameras are gadgets that operate according to certain rules that can be mastered with a little bit of effort. In most case you don't even need to know exactly how something works. Photography, is a different beast all together. We need to develop an understanding of light, of the subject we wish to shoot, of the situations we are in and above all a sense of how viewers perceive an image. Consider that all these are subjective and you'll quickly understand why there's no easy recipe for a good photograph.
