“What’s
up with the world? All I wanna do is take a picture!”
By:
Keith L. Smith
“I
have this passion to take pictures. You see, I had been wanting
this specific camera for so long. Finally, I broke down and
bought it. I waited a long time to get this camera with the
interchangeable lenses and a high pixel count, which would
be perfect for me. Since I purchased it, I’ve gone absolutely
crazy with it. I see pictures in my head and this digital
camera allows me to capture these images on the spot. It’s
like taking single shot movies. I see stories all the time,
wherever I go. I see composition, I see the content of the
shot and imagine “conversations” taking place
in the pictures. I see lighting, positioning, and tone. I
like making a shot have emotion by working with the light,
and the juxtaposition of particular objects. For the most
part, the pictures stay the same. I don’t manipulate
them very much. I might adjust the mid tones, color saturation
and brightness levels. The best thing is that I been able
to take these pictures and get them right into the computer,
and print them out." |
