3 Things to Take Away

-
1. The first thing I will take away from thins class is using the rules of dominance more when taking shots and in editing.  Looking at things that could be distracting in photos that I would not normally look out for.  It makes more sense knowing the rules of dominance now and as I look back at old photos I can see some thing that I could have done better. 2.  The second thing that I will take away is to take time during each and every shot rather than just holding the shutter and hoping for a good shot to turn out.  There are times when this works like during peak action at sporting events but not so much when taking landscapes of nature photography. This would help having a more pleasing image as the result rather than running out to a spot and snapping the shot and leaving. 3.  The camera can only do so much.  The third take away is to further my editing ability and dig into more of what lightroom and photoshop can do and use them to my advantage.  A great photo starts with the

Being young, traveling can be hard and Ariel combats this by shooting around his house and surrounding areas.

https://fstoppers.com/education/tips-better-time-management-and-decision-making-landscape-photography-429058 Interesting article with a video talking about how to manage your time better while out shooting landscape photography.  Most of the point he makes are common sense and more of thing to continue to think about while out shooting.  I think it is super common to get caught up in trying to get the shot and forgetting to take more time and he is a big advocate of going back to the same spot a couple of times and trying different composures at different times of day other than just moving on to the next shot.

https://petapixel.com/2019/11/12/nikon-says-its-cameras-need-to-justify-their-existence-as-a-business/ It would be a real bummer to see a company such as Nikon pull their camera division.  After the flop of the new mirrorless cameras to keep up with the times and all the incentives Nikon was providing to get people to make the switch it was not a secret things were not going well.  I have so much Nikon equipment that isn't worth half of what I paid for it and to make the switch would kill the vibe for me.
