What to do if you want to be a good photographer

The Dhaka Times Desk Due to digital development, DSLR cameras are now in the hands of many people. Some people take pictures for professional reasons, some for industrial reasons, some for hobby. Today's report has some tips for those who are interested in photography.

Something about photography has been bothering me lately. Many people think that a good camera is a good camera. The better the camera, the better the picture. How to understand whether the camera is good or bad? The more expensive the camera, the more gear, the better the camera! Surely you have such an idea?

If you judge a camera by its price, you've got the wrong idea before you even get to photography. You need to change such ideas. I am not saying it is wrong to use expensive parts. But expensive components do not play a major role in taking a good picture. To take a good quality photo, the camera simply clicks and captures the image. All other works are of the photographer. You need to determine the content of the image. The position of the photo, the focus of the photo, the overall expression of the character in the photo, you need to determine exactly how it will come out in the camera. The rest is the camera.

To take a good photo you need to have thoughtfulness, mindfulness, creativity, and talent. Because your eyes take pictures, not the camera. There are many people who have taken amazing pictures with very ordinary cameras. I myself started taking pictures with a very ordinary camera (someone else's). You can't become a photographer just by clicking. Photography is an art, it is simply produced through a machine.

If you want to nurture light painting, it is important to have a sense of art in yourself. That's why I want to practice photography. In addition to taking photos, it is necessary to view and critique other people's photos. Moreover, any information about it, its location in the current world, good photography techniques, etc. is also necessary to study. There are plenty of online articles that you can learn from. There are many international online magazines, where you will find many good pictures with descriptions of how they were taken. By doing this, you will get new ideas, and you will get the joy of creation. Otherwise, you cannot become a good photographer. Just like, to be a good speaker it is important to be a good listener.
