MAKING A PHOTOGRAPHER

MAKING A PHOTOGRAPHER.

This is possibly only one third of the cameras

I went through while trying to learn something

about photography.

The lesson I learned is, 

the camera does not make the photographer.

Yes, I love photography.  But I also love too 

much gadgets and neat equipment.  It was fun,

but expensive.

Truly I think the best advice I received was

online from a professional photographer.

I could not quote it exactly, but here is my

rendition or the essence of it.

Don't worry about what kind of a camera you

have.  Just use what you have and learn all

you can about it and all it's features.  Then

go out and learn to take interesting pictures

with it. 

THE HEAVENS

"The heavens are telling of the glory of God;

And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands."

(Psalms 19:1 NASB)   

Personally I love looking at the clouds.  Their shape and 

colors are in a state of constant change.  If I were a real

photographer clouds would offer the chance for 10,000

photos with out duplication.

But who would sit down and look at 10,000 photos when

all they would have to do is look out the window?

BEING A PHOTOGRAPHER

BEING A PHOTOGRAPHER

No, I never made the grade.

All of these cameras and more and I am still not

a photographer.  This is simply proof that the camera

does not make you a photographer.

However,

I have learned what some of the real photographers

tell us it true.  It would be better to use only one 

camera and master it.  For myself, I could not keep

up with too many different menus.  It was like 

learning all over again every time I picked up a 

camera.

!! PHOTOGRAPHER !!

What a lousy bunch of cameras.

I have enjoyed playing with everyone of them.

But, not one of them made a photographer out of me.

Guess I had better go back to gardening.

At least I know I cannot do that.
