👉 Watch it here and let me know what you think
I’d love for you to join the conversation in the comments and subscribe to this newly-revamped personal photography channel.
I’m taking a fresh, more personal approach to what a photography YouTube channel can be—and I think you’ll find it both fun and different.
Hope you enjoy it.
Until next time,
Tomasz
I like your take on this, Andrew!
As a photographer, there shouldn't be any thinking that will take you away from getting the shot.
Our brains are processing so much already with exposure, composition, color cast, backgrounds, foreground and clutter in the shot - I can't remember ever over analyzing a shot.
The technical stuff (should) happen almost instantaneously, everything else is reaction.
If you're spending time deciding whether or not to take the shot, you're either shooting film and worried about the cost of the click or you're not serious about getting better as a photographer.
Photographers take photos, just like writers write.
Let anyone or anything get in the way (including your brain) and you're doing yourself a huge disservice.
Shoot, shoot, shoot, dump the duds, keep the killer ones and get out there and shoot some more.
Interesting topic Tomasz. Many of us find the mental hamster wheel of thinking is spinning too much and too fast, and want some kind of brake and balance. I wrote about that in case you're interested. ⬇️
