Photography: What is it?

To me photography is capturing a moment on film (or in pixels... grrr  modern tech)

 and preserving it into history. This moment could be happy or it could be tragic but no

matter the emotion it is kept for years and treasured for all times.

What constitutes a good photograph?

·           To me, a good photograph has an interesting layout. This is because it makes the viewer

·           think about what they are seeing and the picture may invoke different emotions in each

·           individual.​

·           Also, a good photograph needs to be unique and reflect the interests of the photographer.

·            This is because if the photographer isn't interested in what they are doing, their images seem to be less interesting.​

·           Finally, a good photograph may not have any of the things often described.

·           This is because not all great shots are planned and may just be a rare moment where everything is right and a flawless image is captured.​
