4 Reasons why I joined photography

It has been 3 years and I have not regretted a single thing. Just a small advice from me to you, if you are going to devote everything into photography or videography, it is going to cost you quite a fortune but it is totally worth it. I have listed out some reasons why I love photography so much.

Satisfaction

Every time I take a photo, I hope that it is how I pictured it to be in my brain. Of course, it might not be the exact image in my mind, but it has to be at least somewhat similar. I got to say, sometimes it really is very hard to capture that particular image. There are a lot of photos that have to happen coincidentally with your fingers to create that 'perfect' image.

Some images might not look good on the camera screen, that is when the editing comes into play. With some touch up and editing in Adobe Lightroom, you might make a drastic change to the photo, editing it to your satisfaction.

Magician

Personally, I love to see magic happen on my computer screen. Some photos might be destroyed, or so you thought. For example, focused on the wrong object, blurry, too dark, etc. Try to give it some heavy editing and change the colour of the photo or increase the exposure to the max. It may not give the result that you expect but it might give you a positive shock.

A photographer is a magician in front of the screen. Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop make up a photographer's magic wand. Removing a few moles or changing the colour is nothing new to us. But of course, if there is no need to do these magic, no time and effort will be wasted.

Never easy

If you think that photography is easy, you are totally wrong. Of course, everyone starts somewhere. I got to admit that when I looked back at my first photo taken using a Canon 1000D, it sure looks like a beginner's work. It takes lots of practice and learning on the shoot to make every photo better. When you bring it back to your computer to process the photo, you will spot mistakes. You would mumble to yourself and say 'Why did I even do that?'

I would like to thank my best teachers, Youtube and Google. Whenever I am not sure about stuff, I would automatically go to them. I too learn from tutorials and get tips and tricks from them too. There are some things that you cannot learn on your own unless someone tells you, so sometimes it is best to have someone point out your mistakes.

Memories

There are some things that even money cannot buy. Sometimes I ask myself, if these are neither filmed nor photographed, how else can we remember them? And if I am not the one to do it, then who else will do it? That is one of the most important reason why I started photography. I want to take photos of the best moments in the best possible way. If I have a choice, I will film the whole event down and edit it in the most beautiful way.

The blur, the focus, the perfect glare from the sun will always affect how perfect the photo comes out. The weather will definitely affect the mood of the photo. Timings are always very important to make the perfect photo happen. Once that moment is gone, there will not be any look backs.
