Things To Know About Photography

The thing about photography is that anyone can do it. Hand someone a camera, point, shoot, click, bam. Picture taken. It doesn’t even matter what camera you’re using. It can be the basic 35mm “film” camera, a basic digital camera or a digital SLR. But the nitty gritty of photography ain’t all that. It ain’t just point-shoot-click. There are things you have to learn, and even the most basic of digital cameras have those options that you wouldn’t know what it does until heaven whispers it to you. I should know, because I’ve been there before. There are so much things to learn: aperture, focus, shutter speed, white balance, ISO, focus, exposure yada yada yada. It’s a whirlwind of information.

But don’t worry, the best thing about photography is learning even the most boring things can be fun. Because you see the point in learning them, and along the way, you get to apply them. Photography is an enjoyable ride, and it’s one lesson worth taking.

I am Vicky, by the way. A 15-year-old photography enthusiast who will stay that way for a really really long time. And I, my dear friends, am the tour guide of this ride.
