What do you think about most when taking a picture? posted on 20th of august, 2007

It amazes me everytime I line up a shot what a mental process it is. There is so much to think about...the light,framing of the photo,camera settings,the subject,foreground,background,the weather,attention span of your model(s)...and the list goes on. Now I am not saying that I don't ever point and shoot but I really enjoy putting my brain in gear for the challenging image.

Anyone else out there enjoy the brain/camera workout?

Thanks for the reply Photojay. I agree about the seeing the light. I notice now the way light shines through peoples hair, illuminates the clouds and reacts with water. It is becoming a little more second nature and instinctive than mental, but not as much as I would like!

I agree with you, but what amazes me is how the longer I do this, the more all of those thoughts become second nature. I took a group of students out shooting and it was enlightening to see them struggle with the things that I see right away. It is almost like my eye sees the light how my camera would see it and, after wasting a whole photo session for having the WB set wrong or the ISO on the wrong setting, I am always mindful of my settings.

About Me

Hello and thanks for visiting this little corner of Dreamstime. As you can see most of my photos are taken in the great outdoors because that is where I like to be! I try to take the best picture that I possibly can, being that I just don't have time for Photoshop wizardry (I hardly even have time for breakfast!) I just give my pictures a little workover and let you designers do your thing. I would love to see what you do with my images.

Thanks for looking (and especially downloading). Please leave me a comment if you have time.

Enjoy your day ;o)
