…because Photography is my Creativity

Have you ever thought to yourself that you aren’t creative? Or even said it out loud maybe?

I have done both. I’ve always thought of myself as uncreative. Thought that I’m not the type of person who is artistic, can draw or paint beautiful landscapes, create music, or write novels, etc.

Something changed my perspective this past week however, and it was in something someone said – “Since you are created by a Creator [God], then you are creative”. In other words, since we were created in the image of the Creator, then it obvious that we too have it within us to be creative and create.

I thought this person had a very valid point.

Photography, is also art. It is a form of creativity. You don’t have to be a professional photographer to be creative, it just happens. Some people may be able to compose a photograph better than others, some may capture light better than others, some may photograph landscapes, while others may photograph people. Either way, you are using your creativity in some form or fashion.

Though you always take pictures of something God has created (whether it is a landscape, a person, or some objects created by a person created by God), you’re creating a composition and in some way creating a photograph.

Pretty cool thought, huh?

I think so.

So don’t ever think you are not creative. Photography is my creativity.

Hello everyone!

This is a great video I found that has a few tips from Professional Photography Nigel Barker. These are photography tips that everyone can use. In the video, Nigel Barker gives tips on how to take great outdoor group photos.

So whether you’re on vacation, at your child’s little league game, visiting the beach, etc., these tips will be helpful. I figured some photography tips from a professional photographer we all have either seen or heard of would have some great merit.

The video isn’t long, so definitely check it out.

Hey guys!

So yesterday I kinda went off on a random tangent instead of staying on course with my high-speed photography posts. So today I thought I’d make it up to you and share a bit more on the high speed topic.

I’ve done a bit more browsing on the topic, and it was quite discouraging here for a little while. So many blogs and tutorials make high speed photography out to be so complex. I did find a decent explanation that is not so complex, and I actually recommend this site because I’ve gotten quite a bit out of reading their photography tips and tutorials (I even follow them on Twitter).

It’s a really short tutorial, so it doesn’t take up a lot of your time (unless you click on a few links and go try to figure out more info on the topic as I typically do).

The tutorial states that what you’ll need for taking high speed photography is an External Flash and a Flash Trigger. Of course you’ll need a camera as well, but that’s a given. Only 2 extra pieces of equipment though? I was pretty stoked, especially after reading a few other tutorials that had 6+ things you “HAD” to have.

Anyway, check it out for yourselves – Here! At the Digital Photography School website.

Also, since I got off of topic yesterday. Here is a do-it-yourself high speed photography resource: http://www.hiviz.com/
They have products, activities, tools, etc. Lots of things that will be helpful in getting you started with high speed photography.

That’s all for now. I’m sure I’ll find more high speed photography info to blog soon, so stay tuned.

Be sure to leave a comment and feedback to let me know what you think and if these resources were helpful to you.

Blessings,
Britt <><
