I have always been a fan of the arts. Drawing, painting, and sculpting are some of the hobbies that I have partaken in from elementary school all the way up to my senior year of high school. Creating new works of art and bringing the ideas in my head to life are some of the greatest moments I have had as a student. Art has always been one of my passions; however, I had never stretched my knowledge of the arts by trying new hobbies. I also never thought that I would fall in love with a hobby that I just started in. This new activity was photography, and it was my new passion. I have a regular digital camera to take pictures with, and that was the only type of camera that I knew about and that I desired to use. It was a red Nikon that I got …show more content…
As soon as I picked it up, I did not want to ever set it down. The pictures that I could capture with this camera were extravagant and breathtaking to me. I would wonder to myself, “Who knew that I could actually do this on my own?” At first, I started taking pictures of my animals and the sunset. The pictures of my dogs running were always so clear and detailed; however, nothing could compare to the sunsets that my camera could capture. It was a masterpiece with extravagant colors that left me unable to think. I would also venture a little more into nature and take pictures of flowers, trees, and butterflies to be specific. When that was not enough for me, I began to research the different modes on my camera so I could take pictures of human activity and my school’s sports teams. There were so many modes to choose from, including auto, sports, nighttime, portrait, manual, program, shutter priority, and so many more. I felt that I had to learn way too much information before I could begin, but I decided to try …show more content…
I practice with my camera almost every day, so it only gets easier for me to produce better and more professional looking pictures. Photography has changed my life because it helps me escape from life for a while. I get to look at the world through a lens and then create whatever I want to see. This hobby has inspired me to become a photojournalist, because I will be able to capture everyone’s happiest moments. I will get to experience every type of culture through my camera, and it will make me thrilled to see the beauty of this world. My life has changed for the better since I started my new hobby, because it has made me more confident with myself and it has made me perfectly comfortable with other people. Photography has taught me how to see the world in a different perspective, or in my case, through a different
My mother once told me to take pictures during a family picnic. That was the day I discovered the art of photography. I found it fascinating how an image could be capable of sharing an entire story. What started out as a hobby, ended up becoming a life-long passion that has allowed me to develop into a more capable individual. When I saved up and bought my first camera, I read vast amounts of photography books and watched countless internet tutorials, in an attempt to teach myself how to become a good photographer. I would then use what I had learned and go outside, for hours at a time, and take pictures of the world around me. I even had the opportunity to practice commercial photography and graphic designing for various public events. These experiences have made a deep impact on my character. Growing up, I was reluctant to work with others, especially in school. Maybe because I was a natural introvert, I believed that in order for something to be done right, I had to complete it on my own and asking others for help was a sign of weakness. However, when complex situations arose during photo-shoots, I realized how lucky I was to be working and collaborating with talented individuals. By sharing the responsibility and by having confidence in my team, the quality of my work drastically improved, and in turn, I thrived in such an environment. It really was a surprise to me how photography has taught me the value of placing trust in others.
I give in. My passion for writing is growing larger and larger each day, it has become the only thing I think about on a daily basis. It’s turning into a nuisance! I curse it to the back of my head every time it comes to fore thought. It twists my guts into an almost wrenching pain when I don’t have the chance to write something down on a piece of paper and make it my own. It forces the air from my chest as if I were a cartoon character with an anvil flattened. Where did I get this from, you ask? Let me tell you a story that explains my passion. Sit back, and enjoy the ride.
A former point-and-shoot photographer can take professional quality pictures with a digital SLR (single-lens reflex) camera by learning about and experimenting with its complex operations. There are many advantages to making the transition from a point-and-shoot digital camera to a digital SLR camera. These include capturing images “more quickly, more flexibly, and with more creativity” (Busch, Digital 9). Furthermore, taking photos with a digital SLR camera reduces the amount of time that otherwise would be spent editing with photo-editing software to improve the quality of the photos.
Think about the last time you went somewhere exciting and did not have a camera or a picture-capturing device. How did that make you feel? In “On Photography,” the essay by Susan Sontag, she challenges how the uses of photography have developed between the invention of the camera in the 1800s and the time this essay was written in 1977, by juxtaposing different topics and ideas. She delves into how photography makes people feel and the plethora of uses, all which depend on the person. Finally, Sontag states that photography lets people show their experiences to others through their own point of view. Through her cynical words, she forces readers to feel a negative emotion towards photography. Sontag states pathos-charged

You can learn a lot about who I am and what I like from seeing what I shoot. As one of my favorite youtubers once said, “Do what you love and love what you do”. I spent most of my free days from work at the city taking pictures over the summer. I like taking pictures of buildings, animals, plants and doing portraits of people.
Although most of my photos were either off center, focused too close, too far away, I also cropped peoples heads out, and some just flat out bad. So I went out everyday after school and took pictures and then like my pictures my skills were starting to develop. As my skills started to develop I found myself starting to develop, my whole perspective on life was changed, the way I looked at certain things, found the beauty in things others can’t, photography was a real eye opener for me.

Some full-color digital images are processed using a variety of techniques to create black-and-white results, and some manufacturers produce digital cameras that exclusively shoot monochrome. Monochrome printing or electronic display can be used to salvage certain photographs taken in color which are unsatisfactory in their original form; sometimes when presented as black-and-white or single-color-toned images they are found to be more effective. Although color photography has long predominated, monochrome images are still produced, mostly for artistic reasons. Almost all digital cameras have an option to shoot in monochrome, and almost all image editing software can combine or selectively discard RGB color channels to produce a monochrome image from one shot in color. The biggest invention would have to be color photography, they found out how to make it a resonable price, this made photography truly came to life. In the early 1940s, all color films (but not Kodachrome, 1935) were brought to the market. These films used the new technology of dye coupled colors. In this chemical process, it connects the three dye layers together to create a visible color image. After color film was brought out there needed to be an easier way for photography to be more on the go. In 1948 Edwin Herbert Land made this possible by inventing the polaroid camera. He made a one step process for developing and printing photos which created instant
... and cherished for the amazing things they can do so easily. Today, cameras are so abundant and accessible, that anyone can become a photographer. Photography has even become an international sport of capturing an image in an amazing and unique way. Photographers use the settings of the camera and their own imagination to take beautiful and stunning photographs. Ernst Haas says “There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.” When you learn how your camera functions and learn to adjust everything to get a great picture, that’s when the real photography starts.

Since my childhood till now it’s been my passion. Every second I’ve lived feels like I’ve lived for it. I m amazed how a piece of paper can capture the beautiful moment of your life and later after sometime looking at the same paper gives you immense pleasure and memories related to it are the sweetest one. To begin with, photography appeared to me as something entertaining, a simple step in which one takes a camera and simply shoot but it’s different, it’s an art in a way how best you can make the moment beautiful. The biggest reason I believe is just the ability of capturing a moment as it happens with just a single click of a button.

“Why do you read all the time?” This question has been commonly asked in the past and I still find it repeated even now as I have entered college. Even though I have been ridiculed for reading too much, it has never stopped me from continuing my passion of reading literature. Reading brings out my imagination, creativity, curiosity, patience, and other valuable qualities. I am a firm believer that the more you read, the more you are expanding your imagination.
