Well it has certainly been an interesting week. I have been trying my best to look for things that I have not noticed before.
If I have learned anything this week, it is that there are some things that may not look like very photographic subjects, but when you view them from a new angle or get in close, they really stand out.
Since I started my photography hobby, I have always drawn inspiration from other photographers photos. I believe there is a great deal that we can learn from other photographers, but it is also important that we develop our own style. If we only try to imitate the work of others rather than branch out and create our own work, we are setting limits on our skills and talents.
I discovered that if I focused more on taking photos from my point of view rather than trying to get a similar result from another picture that I had seen, that I enjoyed myself more and became more creative at the same time.
I have read that photographers are artists, and rather than brushes and paints, the camera is our tool of choice. We compose the image in our minds and then capture our point of view. So many things can influence our photography. If you take two photographers who photograph the same subject at the same time, you are likely to get two sets of very different photographs.
Take what you learned from the last challenge and continue to develop your ability to see creative photos around you. We will start a new challenge next week!
Have a great week,
Zac
