We have come a long way, a very long way, indeed. From being settled into braces that look like some horrid equipment and restricting yourself into a single position for several minutes for a single rigid portrait and an experience you might not wish to repeat, to a freely expressed, gleeful picture, posed at ease or shot candidly in mere split seconds. Of course, we are bound to be addicted to such a magical jump in technology.
Similarly, people who are fond of capturing moments at a standstill, are no longer intended to drag extensive cameras, hurrying and still missing that right moment and spending days bent over in dark rooms developing them, with just the right about of exposure.We are at such a leisure with this magic box called a camera, that aids us in every way possible; journaling passion and documenting lives in general.
But let’s not get into a discussion about the wonders of technology. Of course, let’s not forget how it’s affecting the nature of photography, either. Photographers are visual story tellers and their photographs are a testimony to their passion. The world holds the same things it did yesterday and the same it will hold tomorrow but only a few of us manage to see it distinctly. If each of us was to look through a camera and take a single photograph, only a handful of them would really standout.
The idea is simple, not everyone is meant to use the camera in a special way. Most of us use it selfishly, the rest matter of factly, and only a few to execute their passion and observation.
Fanciful equipment by no means makes you a photographer, but it does, obviously, offer its aid. Photography is an art that can be accustomed to, it only required you to pay heed. Reading photographs is as important as it is to read your subject before you capture it forever. Everything matters in a good photograph, your subject, your background, your angles, your composition, as well as your interest. Its not about the click, you see, it's about that perfect moment when you click and about the perfect setting.
The perfect setting has requirements, it asks you to wait for it. The perfect moment can not be captured in haste, you need to adopt a level of ease and indifference to other distractions for it. And if you are too conscious about the dust on your jeans or your water clogged shoes then you could do better. But, be conscious about your equipment; take your time knowing your camera, understanding it , as you do your surroundings. Adjust your settings with respect to your surroundings; play with them, adjusting the aperture and testing the shutter speed and varying focus points. Simple techniques can do wonders and bring out professional results. It only calls for you to understand the dynamics of your camera and be patient with your surroundings.
This time, the question is different, this time it might just be challenge; can you read your subject correctly before you encase it in time, eternally?
