Doing it Just Like Doug
One of the photography blogs I read regularly is Doug Plummer. Yesterday he posted a piece titled How to make photos just like me in response to a reader’s inquiry about what camera settings he uses to capture some images. Doug correctly points out that the technical aspects of photography are but one piece of the bigger picture [pun intended].
Creating a good photograph is a combination of many factors including technical aspects (such as shutter speed and lighting), photography knowledge (such as composition techniques), and sometimes a bit of luck.
A photographer who wishes to grow will work on mastery of not just the technical knowledge, but the art as well. The technical knowledge is a foundation… you can’t take excellent photos without having at least some understanding of the science, but likewise you won’t consistently take excellent photos without also studying the art and learning about those aspects.
