Question. What does it mean to be a good photographer and to take a great capture?
I do not mean to offend the large number of “Photographers” in my Social network. But, its apparent that this art is largely limiting itself to aiming at anything and posting it, and more appalling part is, celebration of mediocrity by their followers.
So what does really mean to be a photographer ? I mean, apart from being present in right place at right time with right equipment? What makes a photo great? For example Niagara Falls looks great on its own, what is my value addition to make it look it more fantastic ? apart from having bought an expensive camera? [This is Rhetoric Paragraph, don’t answer them]
For example, If I point my phone to sky at 6 PM every day and take a photo with default settings. Does it deserve a WOW ? Let me know.
I don’t thinks so.
Anyways, This is not a “how to” post, I don’t seem to have any authority to write about it. This post is about a map on arrogance of social media photographers. Warning: watching this graph can you cause severe urge of self assessment and could generate deep philosophical questions and complexes 🙂
Bonus : Once you have taken a random shot, you can use below technique to make it great.
