Taking Up Photography As A Hobby

By G J @myfavesjournal

If you’re interested in fashion, you might want to consider taking up the hobby of photography. Photography is a great way to show your love for fashion. You can post pictures of yourself wearing clothes on your blog. Or, you can take snaps of styles that you love and see while you’re out and about. Doing this can lead to the creation of an exciting and inspiring portfolio. But even if you’re not that interested in recording fashion, photography is still a great choice for a hobby. You’ll be able to record moments in time and if you’re good at it, they’ll be stunning. But first you need to think about how to get started with photography.

Choosing A Camera
Your first decision is choosing what camera to buy. For the moment, you can forget about the terms pixels and megapixels. Instead, we’re going to look at some basic needs. The first thing you should consider is where you’re going to be taking pictures and how often you’ll be using the camera. If the answers to those questions are everywhere and a lot, buy a portable compact camera. These are easy to carry around and will still give you great shots. Don’t forget you can buy accessories for cameras to increase their range and picture quality. If you’re struggling to understand what camera to buy, check out 42nd Street Photo.

Practice Makes Perfect
To get used to photography, you will need a lot of practice. You might have thought it would be easy to get the right picture but you should think again. Taking a beautiful shot with a camera is certainly something of an art form. If you have difficulty getting beautiful pictures, you may want to think about taking some classes. It’s important to consider issues such as focus and framing. For instance, if you can avoid it, you don’t want space on a picture. You need what you’re taking to be the centrepiece. As well as this, you need to make sure you have the camera focused on the right area. These are difficult skills to master.

Beauty In Unexpected Places
Don’t forget, that when you are a photographer, it will be up to you what pictures you take. You can choose to take the classics such as a beautiful sunset on a crisp morning. But, you might find it easier to try and take unique pictures that other people wouldn’t think of. For instance, you might see a stray dog wandering down a dimly lit alleyway. If you get the right shot, this could lead to a beautiful and stunning mood piece.

Regarding fashion, it’s important that you don’t just go for the traditional or typical shot. You should try and capture something that no one else sees or would notice. This is the true art form of photography.

Finally, remember to have fun. Photography is a great skill to learn but if you’re not enjoying it, there’s not much point.
