I was reading this article in a photography magazine on "how to develop you photographic vision?". And there just like that I realized that few of those lessons it was not only about photography they were true for real life perspectives too.
Eliminate Distracting Elements: So it says that there are these random elements that poke in from the corner and then your photograph takes a whoop. In our lives we find people who come in for short while and in that short while turn our lives around. Now unlike the author I think that may be these random innocuous objects might actually be adding color and that subtle tinge to our lives and make it my photo of the day (day here is equivalent to an individual's life). So never rule them out just choose to fit them in the frame.
Use only one mode: Ah! this one's my favorite and I couldn't agree more. Today, life has given us so many choices that we forget to appreciate the innate beauty of things. I have a cycle but I cry for a scooter, I have a scooter but I cry for a car, I have a car but I yearn for a chopper and on and on and on.. This never ends. I forget that the cycle keeps me hail and hearty or the motorbike lets me bathe in the breezy wind or the car gives me safety while I drive. I turn a blind eye to everything and cringe for something else. And this true not only for objects but for people too. I have a friend but I yearn for the one gone or the ideal one that I don't have by my side. Why?? Live and explore what is with you right now cos trust you me this moment just passed us. So use one mode, let not the possibility of many kill and complicate your lives.
Switch off review: Touche, my friend! Stop Chimping!! ( thanks for this new word).So chimping ideally in the photographic world refers to the phenomena where I get so lost in reviewing my photos on LCD that the moment passes by. This just fits right into our busy lives. We keep reviewing and re-evaluating all the time. Wait for a while and I am sure the results shall be for yours to see. Carpe diem!
Shoot from within a small bit of space: Constrain yourself to a small space and then try and capture your subject. Well, this ones about trying to maximize that little space, that little resource such that you get your shot, your happiness. Life doesn't serve us dessert on a platter but it does give me a constrained quantity of the creme brulee ingredients and we should try using them to make our own fancy creme brulee. The best that met my palate.
Live, laugh and love!!
P.S.: These are reflections based on an article in the October Issue of "Better Photography". So thanks to them.
