Photography |
I was introduced to photography in Aug 02 - having never held an SLR before... and all pics on this site apart from these photography pages - pre-date my interest in photography as an art, as you can probably tell!!! I still only know the basics, and I wouldn't be able to produce a fine black and white print as many of my fellow photographers are able to. However, I enjoy my photography - and that, I feel, is the most important thing to anyone taking a picture or creating an image. If its enjoyable to you then what does it matter if you are not technically perfect, or can't recite the hyperfocal distances for each lens you own. One thing I learnt very early on was that as with any form of art, appreciation of an image is a very subjective thing. An image which may have done well in front of one judge will fall flat with another. Again, if you like the image yourself - then that is all that matters. I don't ask anyone to understand what some of my pictures are of - or why I took the picture but if you like any of my images, then thats a bonus :-) I work on slide film, not yet having made the transition to SLR digital. That will happen but in time...its an expensive thing!!! I've tried to put a sample of my work online... to give you a flavour of what I've been up to in the past 2 years whilst not chatting online!! |
