Hi everyone.
Just a quick blog post today to share an image. It's nothing special that’s for sure, as you can see for yourself!
Rather, it’s the idea behind it. As I tweeted earlier today I was listening to a podcast today from the guys at LightSource. This is a great resource if; like me, you spend a fair amount of your day at work with headphones in your ears – listening to these podcasts is a great way to keep your mind ticking over about all things photography related.
Anyway, I was listening to an old episode today wherein they were interviewing a guy called Tim Tadder. He is a great sports/action photographer, which isn’t really a genre of photography that interests me. But this guy certainly had some words of wisdom to share. The interview ended with the hosts asking “what would be the ‘one-liner’ that you would give to someone that was wanting to get started in the industry?” to which Tim simply replied “take better pictures…” and to summarize he went on to say that you just have to get out there and take some pictures, and do it often.
This is something that I have heard quite a lot lately but the penny didn’t drop until today – go figure! A few of my mentors have been doing what they call “Project 365” wherein they are going to take at least one image every single day for an entire year. Well, as of today, this is my goal too. I will try to post a few images a week on here, but probably not one a day for the rest of the year – although I will be taking them. But I will be putting them on my Facebook Page in a gallery which will go online in a few days.
These images are not meant to be works of art – although some might be. They are not supposed to be wonderfully inspiring images, although some may be inspired. They are just for me, and a reminder for me to actually make the effort to get out there and start taking better pictures…
PS - todays image is called "Portrait of a Clothes Peg"! For those who care it was taken with my Fujifilm S5 Pro and my Nikon 85mm f/1.8 lens, ISO100, 1/2000th second shutter at f/1.8.
