Photography Basics- Even before you pick up the camera

Have you ever wondered why your pictures don’t come the way you want or how some people capture better pictures than others. Lets see some simple rules before even we pick up our camera…..

• See what you camera sees: Yes, that’s true. Most of the time we see something very beautiful but it does not come the same way on the camera. You need to understand that human eyes are a highly complex camera attached with the greatest super computer called ‘Brain’. For example, we see a beautiful sunset. We do not realize that eyes, coupled with our brain, analyzes the distance, height, all the 3 dimensions, color, level of light/ darkness, blah, blah, blah…in a fraction of a second and our eye muscles adjust immediately to get a better view. Can u do that in a camera? I think you got the point. Always see what your camera sees.
• Be passionate but not emotional: Most of the time budding photographers get so excited by the sight, that they overlook the technicalities of photography. As a result they get bad results and get demotivated. What is important that we need to keep the passion high but we do not get emotional with subject. Photographers decide what they want to shoot before they go to the jungle and carry the equipment based on their goal for that day. For example, if they plan to shoot macro work they will not divert themselves for long shots of animals even if the subject looks tempting. That’s the difference between amateur and professional photographers.
