You might think that with all the cameras that are available these days that taking good photographs would be a simple process. Then you try to take photographs using your phone or a camera which you picked up from the supermarket for five and change and find that while a basic camera may be good for snapping a family picnic or capturing candid shots at a child’s birthday party isn’t nearly so good for taking photographs that you’re going to want to keep forever and show all your friends. You may not want to be a professional photographer, you may just want to be able to take excellent quality photos of your kids, your family, on holiday, whatever. Just because you don’t want to be the next Mario Testino, Rankin or Annie Leibovitz that doesn’t mean you’re going to be happy with shots that you have missed because there was too much lag between pressing the shutter release and the photo actually being taken. You might think that being a good photographer relies on being able to take the right shot at just the right split second. However, for every perfect shot a professional takes there are literally thousands that weren’t quite right. When we relied on film and all that expensive processing that would have been a problem. Now we can shoot and shoot until the battery goes flat or the memory chip gets full. But what if your memory gets full after only a few dozen pictures or your battery runs out before you’re ready to call it a day? You’re back in the old situation, you’ve run out of something, in the old days it was film, now it’s power or memory. Digital photography was meant to overcome that problem but it doesn’t. Why not? Is Running Out Of Something Stopping You Becoming A Great Photographer? When you’re investing in a new camera you can go in to the deal in one of two mindsets: ‘I never was such a great photographer so I ‘ll just get something cheap.’ Or ‘I’m not such a great photographer so I’ll get something decent so that the only thing that can spoil the shot is me!’ If you’re one of the first people then you’re right, you’re never going to become a good photographer. You’ll hate everything you shoot, get bored and never use your camera more than once a year. If you’re in the second group you’ve got what it takes to be a brilliant photographer, a camera which lets you keep on shooting so that you don’t miss the best shot of your life. Snapping away makes you confident behind the lens and the more confident you are the more you shoot, the better you grow to understand composition and timing. Before you know it you’ve grown to be the best.readmore
