Creativity Is The savior Of The Crappy Cameras!

in #photography6 years ago

Photography, the art of freeze in time something... but make sure you froze that image good!

DSCF3579-1.JPG You should always start a post with the less crappy edit

You love photography but have a grampa smartphone and a crappy camera. You know all the tricks to make those crappy pics look less crappy so you drive to the nearest nice place to take some pics. You have the adequate outfit cause you know if you want a macro you have to crawl and get dirty. You tight your hair cause last time you ended up with a spider tangled in your curly hair and that wasn't pretty!

DSCF3579-2.JPG The artsy edit that will make you forget this is a crappy pic

You saw several stuff that deserved to be frozen in time forever including the extremely cute tiny flowers that you have never seen before. The place is filled with all type of ants, dog poop, trash and crawling is not an option. You start doing photography yoga poses to take those pics and then the wind start to blow really strong. Your camera have macro option but for some reason the "anti-shake" thingy doesn't work with macro settings so those you know that moving flowers are gonna look bad in those photos. Your body is all twisted and you look like the devil has possessed your body and you're having a type of contortion. The old ladies with their doggies look at you with horror and rebuke you in the name of Christ while they were crossing themselves.

DSCF3579.JPG The original crappy pic that will make you appreciate my edits

You think "Let me take all the pics I can before these people bring a priest and start performing a exorcism in me" and take like 25 photos of each thing you see. The weather is awful, the light is very bad and you know those pics will look terrible but a highly dynamic amateur photographer master of the photo yoga doesn't quit easily cause you know there's a chance to save some of those shots in the editor. Then you finally reach home and delete 80% of the pics you took cause there's no possible way to make 'em look decent enough and make several edits with the ones that are bad but not that bad... then pick the one with the cute tiny flowers and the weird tentacle leaves and write a long funny post about how much your camera sucks and the struggle of the photo yoga art so people forget the bad quality of the pics! Now if you excuse me I have to practice my photo yoga to be in shape for the next time!

Even us old folk do the photo yoga to try and get the picture, it just takes us longer to recover, and sometime we look like broken monkeys trying to get back up, and walk funny afterward for a little bit while everything re-straightens out. Sometime the only option for a photo is the delete key.

Hahahah is true! Delete is a savior sometimes!

So true, a creator is a creator, no need for fancy equipment. My edits :D

Oh! That's a great pic/edit!!

Not crappy at all. Nature at its best view.

Hahaha! Oh yes! People will see you doing funny stuff just to be able to get a great capture of a certain something as a subject. It really requires to have an "eye" of a photographer where you will be able to make simple things into magnificent ones. I'll check your post on publish and post a comment there too.

Thanks for the visit hun!

ho ho! dont reveal the secrets of the trade to the public!
they should have a faith we are great photographers, not a skilled foto-shoppers )))))))

nb. delete 80% is a must part. or maybe 95%
