I was thinking about this after browsing through some old travel photos recently. Apparently when there is something that is memorable like a sunset, I'll take many photos of it over the span of time it is happening.
Did it change colors? 10 new photos. Brighter and more vibrant? Still more photos.
It becomes tiresome to choose which sunset photo is the best once I return, so I have begun trying to improve my photography skills so I can feel confident I've captured the moment in a shot or two.
And if I don't that is still okay because even a mediocre picture is able to conjure up the memories and feelings of the moment as I browse the photos years later.
- wldcordeiro 12y agoI've seen photographer advice that said something like "take 100 photos and only show 5" so maybe the trick is to keep taking tons of photos and learn how to select the best of them.
- stevesearer 12y agoYeah, I've heard that too though I don't remember if that applies to taking 100 photos throughout the course of a day and show the top 5, or taking 100 photos of a single event and show the top 5. If it is the latter, then it seems like I would miss out on experiencing the event.
- prawn 12y agoSometimes capturing the event is experiencing the event. I've seen many amazing sunsets. Some I've just enjoyed as is, some I've enjoyed the experience of trying to capture what I was seeing. I'm more likely to remember the ones I've captured (at least to some degree) than the ones I haven't.
