Amateur striving to use Manual Mode.
What is it that fuels you? For me, it’s my Photography Den. I love photography, it’s one of the few times I can forget everything, I am actually in my own world when I am searching for a good picture, or am taking a shot. I see potential shots everywhere. It’s like being in a sort of cocoon - a Den; hence the name I have assigned to this Blog. It’s now time to take it a bit more seriously.
Like many people I know, I hate how I appear in photographs. Perhaps this has driven me to become a picture-taker rather than a picture-subject.? Whatever brought me to the love of clicking the shutter button, I am so very grateful. I absolutely adore pointing my camera and really enjoy shooting decay, elements of architecture, things I find funny and the juxtaposition of natural and manufactured items.
However, I have always used basic cameras and currently use my iPhone and my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TX60 in Automatic Mode only as I don’t know how to use it in Manual. I know enough to understand that other than choosing what I think makes an appealing image, I am not fully using my camera in terms of anything approaching a creative way. It seems to me that I will value my images and therefore enjoy photography much more if I award myself creative control.All photographs on my blog are taken by me using Manual Mode on my Lumix.
The Photography Den is truly my own little passion project, gaining more and more traction each day. Read on and enjoy! (?)
