You Should Know

2. Photography is an art which can only be mastered
with loads of practice and patience. It’s time to
debunk myths about photography. Here are some
of the most common myths about photography.

3. MYTH #1 – PHOTOGRAPHY IS A PIECE OF CAKE
Easy is not a synonym for photography. It can be a lot of
things, but it isn’t easy for sure. People think that
photography is all about picking a camera and clicking a
button. No! It’s just a myth that photography is easy. Lots
of patience and tons of practice is what you need to click
photographs which are aesthetically appealing to not only
to yourself, but for others also. You need practice for a
long time to master the art of creating compelling images.
Over a period of time, you’ll find it a lot easier to
remember rules and settings of photography.

4. MYTH #2 – DON’T SHOOT IN BAD LIGHT
You’ll be surprised to know that in photography, there’
no such thing like bad lighting. You will always have the
opportunity to capture amazing pictures as long as there
is some source of light. Avoid setting limitations of
shooting only during specific lighting conditions. An
important skill for a photographer to acquire is to make
the most of the light which is available. Mastering this art
will allow you to capture photographs in all types of
lighting conditions.

5. MYTH #3 – AVOID SHOOTING INTO THE SUN
You may have heard lots of people suggesting that
capturing portraits, you should shoot with the sun at
your back. This is done mainly to ensure that subjects
appear evenly lit with fewer shadows. However, in many
cases you can capture some of the most memorable and
beautiful images by shooting into the sun. According to
professional photographer Sam Crawford, You can
capture beautiful backlighting by simply facing the sun,
and it’s an excellent way to capture some unique and
interesting photographs. Practice will make you perfect!

6. MYTH #4 – BETTER CAMERA MAKES YOU A
BETTER PHOTOGRAPHER
One of the biggest myths spread about photography
is that a better camera will make you a better
photographer. No, it won’t! This is true that high
quality equipment will help a lot, but it solely
depends on the talent of the photographer to
capture memorable and outstanding images. It all
about how well you can use the camera, so first
practice with the camera you already have instead of
rushing to buy a new one.

7. MYTH #5 – EXPERT PHOTOGRAPHERS
DON’T USE THE ON-CAMERA FLASH
Although it’s true that the on-camera flash can
produce some of the most terrible results, but in
some situations it can work wonders. It’s all about
knowing when and how to use it. With lots of
practice, you’ll surely get a better idea about when to
use On-Camera Flash.
