I think good photography comes from a balance of taking advantage of the right moment under controlled terms. What I mean is, it takes effort to know precisely how to capture the moment as it is perceived in the mind... therefore, one needs to know the techniques and proper use of equipment. It takes experience and hardwork to get it right. The standard of "get it right" is based on a vision in one's mind - which is why I consider this to be a controlled condition.
Photography to me is the balance of both the left and right brain. It's the left sidethat masters the technical know-how, but the right that articulates beauty.
In a far stretch, it's like riding a horse. In the olden days, equestrian was viewed as a sport of real authority - Because a horse is a wild animal, it takes mastery in controlling a horse. The horse is the tool that gets the rider there. My camera does the same thing for my vision.
The time I've spent in photography only scratched the surface of this art form. There's sooo much more road a head for me to learn, and I will need to devout more time and energy on improving my skills.
What's next on my list?
- Get a new L lens - hopefully that tax refund will come soon...
- Learn to use the bloody flash
- Photo project - take pics of people chasing subway..haha
- Take photos of bugs!!!!!!
