Practicing Photography
Where to start? Except to say that I am fast learning that the only real way to improve my photographic skills is to practice, practice practice and when I think I’ve taken enough practice photographs, to take a just few more. Digital cameras make practicing photography so easy, there is really no excuse not to.
How people practiced when the only option was a camera with a reel of film, I really don’t know. However I do know that there would be no way I could afford to work on my photography skills without one.!
Being part of the Zakynthos Walking Group has made practicing photography easy and there are many of us who walk that enjoy taking photos. When we walk there are photographic opportunities everywhere we look, from the fantastic views, to the people and animals and then there are the smaller subjects like flowers, trees, signs and walls to photograph too. You name it, and between us we’ve photographed it.
Recently though I’ve been practicing taking photos from different angles. It doesn’t always work, in fact more often than not it doesn’t work, and the beauty of having a digital camera is that I can delete any photo I don’t like, without thinking twice.
My Practicing Photography Photos
To get this image I cropped a close up of a poppy. The bright sun seemed to enhance the red of the poppy.
These olive trees reminded me of an enchanted forest, a shot waiting to be taken, don’t you think?
An avenue of olive trees.
I couldn’t walk past this half finished clock tower without photographing it.
Do you enjoy taking photos? What’s your favourite subject?
