I wish I have the skills to take a photo beautifully, where it's beauty was emphasized rather than it's dullness. Whenever I take a photo, I can't be satisfied with it sometimes because I can't fully capture its beauty. My eyes can see that beauty, but when I take a shot using a camera, the beauty I saw wasn't really captured. I sometimes feel so frustrated because of that, but I just give up on capturing that beauty. Because no matter what I do, I can't really get it because of the low-end camera I have. Or maybe it's really just about the skills and your knowledge about photography.
My knowledge about photography is still low, I mean, I think you can't even call it knowledge. There's really a lot to know about photography, but I only know a few. Everyone can take a photo, but not anyone can take a magnificent one. Something like, in one glance, you can already tell what a lovely artwork they are, it's not a painting, but you can still tell its value. We can easily snap one image, but photography is really not just all about that. It's a complicated one, but if we want, we can study it and maybe become a professional. But anyway, the real reason I take photos is because of the moment and stories attached to them.
It's a bonus when the outcome is rather better than what I actually intended it to be. I'm not a professional, just a wannabe who loves to take photos of beautiful things, places, and happy moments. And, you really don't need to be a professional to capture happy moments, no? Just the people and the place, I think that's enough. Still, I want to take a beautiful photo. That's why sometimes I also made a little effort when taking some. They are not the best photo, but for me it is. You know I'm always excited whenever I upload a photo here. I didn't say anything special in those photos, but when people notice it, I can't help but feel good because of it.
And even if I failed to capture one's image beauty, the beauty of one's place, the flowers, the trees, a plant, or even a moment will forever be marked in my head. But, even if that's the case, that doesn't mean I will just capture it recklessly. With the right timing and when no one's watching (≧▽≦), ehermmm, I think we can share better pictures. Seriously though, the result of my shot will depend on the people's surrounding me. As a shy me, I can't really just take photos everywhere. It's different though when no one knows me and when I am wearing my favorite black cap and black mask. <( ̄︶ ̄)>
By the way, I also edit my captured images sometimes. Just enhancing them or lowering their brightness, there are times that I also change it's tone, brilliance, and sharpness. I like it when some photos look different when I apply them. It's amazing how a simple edit can make a big impact in one photo. Some used amazing apps to do that, but as for me, I just used the built-in editor on my camera. How about you?
