I have been having a lot of fun since joining this series; so much so that, I have coined a name for myself; The Photographer’s Apprentice.
I like all that I have been able to learn and how much Paul infuses humor into our sessions.
I like how firm Paul is. I can proudly say that; these days, I pay better attention when I take Pictures because of all the wonderful things I learn during those MEETUPs.
I am thinking in;
Rule of Thirds
ISO
Leading Lines
Noise
Light
Presentation
Editing tools and so on
I pay ‘positive attention’ WHEN I take pictures now.
I am grateful to all those who comment on the weekly recaps and who take time out to read them. This week’s session was very short, so, please do well to watch the Video and read the Recap after Paul@PaulPavlinovich drops it.
I really do not want the classes to end at all, at least, not until I become a Professional Photographer ?
Please share some tips on taking Pictures of Architecture with me.
Amazing photo @Ewaade_3A You are learning a lot from @PaulPavlinovich on photography. Though I am interested about photography also, unfortunately I do not have any Camera . I use my mobile phone to take a photo. Anyway, I hope to see more stunning photos from you soon. Regards.
Your words are very much inspiring to me @Ewaade_3A I love to take photos and share with people. I know about the ventures of Paul. I have already signed for one session. I live in Bangladesh and it will cost around $500+ to buy a medium quality camera here. Thanks for your nice words. Regards.
Photography is a very personal thing and on occasion I’ve been accused of going too far with HDR enhancement or saturation in order to try and recover a poorly shot original image or to try and pull out some of the visuals I saw at the time that haven’t necessarily made it to the final image due to a limitation with the camera used or the lighting available. Sometimes you can’t go back to take a better shot, is it better to enhance what you do have rather than not post at all or post the original that’s not very representative?
My ethos is that if you can look at the image and it’s an honest reflection of the experience a visitor might experience if they were there and doesn’t attempt to trick them with any fake additions then it has a place on Maps etc.
Having said this your shared image goes a little beyond my own tastes when it comes to the HDR levels and could possibly do with slightly less saturation but again maybe this your style and if so then be yourself.
I only say this because I was once accused of “faking a sky” that was 100% real and only slightly edited to bring out the true colour of it at that time rather than what the camera saw, there was talk of people being thrown off the Local Guides program if images weren’t “real enough”, it seemed harsh and I don’t know if it’s true but I thought it worthy of a mention / warning.
I’m unaware of the teachings of your mentor but hats off to anyone who can make people think more about the images they capture in order to boost their enjoyment of the hobby.
You got me at; “I am glad you all are able to develop through these series”
