Practice not only works out great for ...Great post! Practice not only works out great for newbie photographers, it also is great advice for experienced photographers. With the current crop of cameras, you can get some very good shots by shooting in the automatic mode. However, the value of practicing is that you also learn how to use more of the functions of your camera - other than the automatic mode.<BR/><BR/>Most experienced photographers are aware of this. One of the differences that distinguishes the experienced photographers that almost always shoot great shots, is their relentless practice (and familiarizing themselves with their camera controls).<BR/><BR/>Automatic is good. But, it does nothing to teach how to take good shots. Just like I assume good writing is, good photography requires intentional practice and practice to fully appriciate and learn the "tools of the trade."<BR/><BR/>Your suggestion that the practicing photographer try to shoot within the context of the publication that they want to accept their work, is right on the money. In fact, that is what "gets stock and freelance photographers paid!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
