In photography, a person can be skilled in all the technical aspects of a $3k digital camera but not know how to take a good photo with a $500 cell phone.
While a cell phone photographer can take amazing images with an iPhone, he or she may not know what to do with a professional camera. Thus… skill varies.
Personally, I leave the photo taking to my husband, since regardless of what I hold in my hand, professional camera, or an iPhone, my images can not compare to his level of skill.
One thing which will help bring out your creative side is to envision what you would like to capture as framed pieces of art ready to be displayed to the masses. What in the world does that mean?
Since a photograph is worth a thousand words, I’ll explain what I mean by comparing two photographs side by side. Both are beautiful; however, one is captivating and worthy of showing off to anyone not related to the subject.
