There is an old saying that says ‘curiosity killed the cat’
While curiosity might be fatal to a few cats it is an incredibly
useful characteristic to have as a photographer.
Here are just a few of the benefits of being curious as a
photographer.
1. Curiosity helps you notice things others often overlook!
While most people only see the obvious, and sometimes they even
overlook that. A curious and inovative photographer will create
stunning images of everyday things that most of us wouldn’t even
think to look for beauty in.
2. Curiosity drives you to find new ways photograph normal
items. A curious and persistent photographer finds interesting
ways to make ordinary scenes and objects look extraordinary.
You can do this by finding interesting angles, placing your
subjects in unusual settings or by experimenting with things
like different focal length lenses. (particularly macro shots).
3. Curiosity drives you to learn about your digital camera.
One thing I’ve noticed about great photographs is that most
of them show that the photographers have a good grasp of their
cameras and how to use them. It is quite obvious to me that
most of the photographers have ventured out of Auto mode and
have learned to take control of their cameras. There is obviously
a lot of experimentation going on with digital photography
which is evidence of curious minds wondering what will happen
if they just take the shot a little differently than the norm.
4. Curious photographers capture the viewers interest.
One theory you might is, creative people are willing to push
boundaries and explore new ground. They tend to be the type
of people that others are drawn to. Curious photographers
images are attractive because they help the rest of us view
the world in new and intriguing ways. How about you? Are you
ready to push some boundaries and explore your curious side?
If the thought of exploring your creative and curious side
excites you, If you would love to experience the excitement
of capturing fantasic images with your digital camera, then
I envite you to join me and learn how to Master Digital Photography.
