Style

So far Low Light has been my favourite style of photography. Buildings look so beautiful when they are lit up with lights at night. Everything seems so peaceful and tranquil. I have started venturing into a few other styles of late.

Tips

I’ve never been scared to ask a question to anybody about photography, even if it has been a stupid one. Which in my case, there have been many.

The person controlling the camera is the reason for a good picture, not the camera itself. But, it does help having the right equipment for the job. What I’m trying to say is, never blame your camera for a bad picture. If there is a type of picture you are trying to take, whether it is at night or during the day, NEVER be afraid to ask somebody who does know how. This is what I have done. By doing this, I have learnt alot.

The only place were success comes before work is in the dictionary.

The greatest tool you will ever own in Photography, is your mind.........
