Hello, .
"Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography." George Eastman
If you don't know who George Eastman is, look him up.
In brief, George Eastman, the visionary behind the Eastman Kodak Company, is credited with revolutionizing the photography and film industries.
His work popularized amateur photography and made it more accessible to the masses.
In short, he simplified photography and made it available to almost everyone.
The Kodak camera was introduced to the masses in
1888.
Since then, anyone could take pictures with a handheld camera by pressing a button.
He coined the slogan for this camera: "You press the button, we do the rest."
While that slogan describes
pressing the shutter release and making an exposure that creates a photograph, it only deals with the exposure part of the camera operation.
It's really easy to be a photographer because all we need to do is press the button to take
a picture.
However, what's hard is to be a good photographer.
But we could be.
It takes work because being a good photographer isn't just about pressing a button.
It's about understanding the nuances of light, mastering camera operation, and honing our composition skills.
However, we can all become good photographers if dedicated to a consistent and thoughtful studies practice.
We need to study and practice
camera operation and composition and understand light.
The Introduction
To Photography classes start soon, and during the class, we got involved in camera operation, composition, and light to put the camera into context as a light recording tool.
During the last meeting, we review what we cover in
the first three weeks, and at the end of the class, we talk more in depth about light.
Specifically, we talk about describing light in terms of characteristics from a photographer's perspective.
If we do a keyword search online for characteristics of light, we usually find the physicists' take on it.
But as interesting as it is, I don't find the physicist's version of the characteristics of light useful as a photographer.
We
should become familiar with the characteristics of light, as George Eastman stated.
Observing and describing the characteristics of light helps us understand our options in terms of camera operation and composition.
