There Isn’t Always A Pat Answer!

I am not pon­tif­i­cat­ing here and I have tried to keep this as short and rel­e­vant as possible  

I often see and read arti­cles about artis­tic style and equip­ment for pho­tog­ra­phers. A lot of ques­tions are asked by those that want to break into pho­tog­ra­phy. The ques­tions revolve around the brand of cam­era lenses, strobes, acces­sories and such. The prob­lem is most haven’t taken any classes in high school, Junior col­leges, or found some­one to men­tor them. The sit­u­a­tion cre­ates con­fu­sion and can resolved with a dif­fer­ent approach.

Most of the ques­tions come down to the equip­ment, which I want to talk about. I’ll be hon­est; I think I have taken one pho­tog­ra­phy class in my entire life. I found it slow mov­ing and lack­ing a dimen­sion of teach­ing. I wished not only was there the lec­ture but the demon­stra­tion and you do  with the teacher/instructor por­tion of the class too. I will also say this that that was in the 70’s too, so things may have changed a bit then. (more…)
