Photography is actually painting with light! It has been said that photography is the one art in which you do not have to go to school, nothing separates the pro from the amateur. Give a camera to a kid and they have cracked it, give the same kid a keyboard and they will get back to you in due time.

Most photographs are actually created using a camera, which has a lens to focus the scene’s visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye will see. The process of creating photographs is called photography.

The fantastic thing about photography is its outward focus on the world around us, not the art itself. Moving from hobby photography to professional photography is actually a huge jump. It is a jump not simply because your ability to pay your mortgage and feed your family will now depend completely on your talent with a digital camera and your abilities at marketing those talents.

For me, photography is about “collecting” experiences and allowing myself to be more than a fly on the wall in my subjects’ lives. I do not think photography is dead, I think photography is actually an incredibly young art form. I also check out the history of photography and see a large number of its milestones have been based on the technology of the time.

Photography is going through an exciting transition period as many film photographers are actually beginning to explore the new capabilities made possible with digital cameras. Traditional aspects such as the basic techniques and lens equipment have remained the same, however, others are markedly different.

Natural light in photography is essential if you wish to take great portraits. Photography can be used to preserve memories of favorite times, to capture special moments, to tell stories, to send messages, and as a source of entertainment. Photography is actually an art of particularity, but this does not mean that photography must be from “outside in. If photography has an excessive amount of natural accident, it will barely carry visual dynamic. But if it is way too much photographer intervention and manipulation of the subject, it is going to paralyze the expression of the subject’s essence.

Once you have gotten your head around this and started filming a couple of pictures, you may find that photography is quite fun and fascinating. At first glance, it would seem that unless you are a full-time adventure athlete, adventure photography is one thing that you are going to have very little chance to use yourself to? Nevertheless, nothing could be further from the truth. When learning how you can shoot action photos, there are lots of ways you can start practising and honing your skills when you are far from wild rivers or the mountains.

Photography is actually all about selection, first through the viewfinder and second when you take a look at the results. So long as there is selection involved, there is room for art – if the artist is able to pull it off.
