3 Stupidly Simple Reasons Why Most

People’s Photography Does Not Improve by Darren Rowse

I‘m presuming that this article will not

apply to most of us… but after 3

conversations in the last week which

revealed the same photography

problems in 3 different people – I

thought I‘d better jot them down.

Warning: none of this is rocket

science sometimes the basics need to

be said!

1. You don’t Take Your

Camera With You If you don‘t practice using your

camera you‘re unlikely to ever grow

in your understanding of and skill in

photography and if you rarely have it

with you – you‘ll not get that practice.

Does that mean you need to lug your

DSLR and all your cumbersome gear

around with you all the time?

Maybe – I have friends who are never

without their main camera – but if

that‘s just not practical, at least make

sure you have a smaller point and

shoot or even a decent camera phone

with you at all times. While the quality

of the images you take might not be as

great with these cameras – at least

you‘ll be practicing your composition,

thinking about light, color and other

aspects of photography. Cont’d Page 3 . . .

2. You’re Going too Fast Many of us lead life at such a fast pace

that we rarely stop to see the

opportunities right before us to take

wonderful images.

You can carry your camera around

with you 24/7 for the rest of your life

but unless you learn to slow down

and to look at the world a little

differently you may never actually use

it.

As a result – I guess one of the tips I

find myself giving to some that I talk

to is to find ways to slow down – or

at least slow down temporarily to set

aside time to be a bit more intentional

about photography. It might start by

taking a walk with the main objective

of doing some photography but could

also be something bigger like a

weekend away with your camera or

even taking a photography class or

tour.

For me its about building photography

into your daily rhythm and in time it

starts to become a more natural thing

as you get in the habit of seeing life a

little differently.

3. You are Worried what

Others Will Think I‘ve come across quite a few people

lately who suffer from ‗framing

paralysis‘.

They take their camera with them

and they even slow down enough to

see the photographic opportunities

around them – but there‘s just

something that stops them from

lifting their camera up to frame the

shot.

When I dig a little I‘ve found in most

of these instances the person is

simply worried about what others

around them will think if they use

their camera. Will they look stupid?

Will people think that they‘re

photographing them?

Its a feeling I‘ll admit to having myself in the past and when I asked about it

on our Facebook page the other day

it seems that it‘s quite common.

I guess the key to moving through

framing paralysis is to grow your con-

fidence as a photographer. For me

the more photos I took and the more

I began to exercise the discipline of

taking images the easier it got.

Another friend of mine got over his

paralysis by finding a photography

buddy to go out with – two of them

taking shots somehow seemed more

confronting than him doing it alone.

What do You Think?

Of course the above are very simple

things that hold many people back

and there are bound to be others

that readers might have experienced.

I‘d love to hear from you on two

fronts: Cont’d Next Page . . .

3 Stupidly Simple Reasons. . . Cont’d from page 3

1. what other simple things hold you (or other photographers) back from im-

proving?

2. what tips and solutions would you give others facing these problems?

(I‘m looking forward to hearing from you on this! Yes, that’s me - Doug)

Darren Rowse (The above is from a dPs - Digital Photography School publication, issue number

170, on the following website: http://www.digital-photography-school.com/ with Darren

Rowse’s permission.)

The following information and images were contributed by a our new members to be

shared with you.

Sterling Ranne - I got my first camera in my Easter basket ‗73. A Kodak Instamatic and I

took a boatload of pics with it, all snapshots. My father anointed me the family photographer

with duties of photographing the clan during family gatherings (my least favorite type of photog-

raphy - ―smile!‖ <click>)

My next camera was about 5 years later when, in high school, I purchased a SLR, the Canon AT-

1. I outfitted it with zoom lenses, macro lenses, tripods, flash, bells and whistles (well as much as

a high schooler‘s salary would permit) I took classes on my camera, basic photography, and on

b/w darkroom and learned I did not care for the messy darkroom business.

I entered a long dark period call ‗marriage‘ which involved little but cheap digital family pics.

<shudder> The one exception to this period was in 1997 when I learned I would be visiting

Australia in 1999. I learned to dive and purchased a Nikonos IV underwater camera. I sold the

camera right after my trip, but fell in love with underwater photography.

February of 2011 I took a plunge and invested in my second SLR, the Canon T2i. Very different

from my first SLR I am learning that the controls are internal. One doesn‘t reach around and zip

the aperture to where one wants it. One spends 2 minutes looking for the %^#&# control in

the menu and waits for the shot to evaporate. Still, I love the quality of digital and would not

give it up for film.

Since February I have: 1] purchased entry level studio equipment (moonlights, booms, remotes,

even dyed my own backdrops), 2]taken several basic photography classes from a local

photographer, 3] found & listened to most of a photo processing podcast series called ―Meet the

Gimp‖ and 4] found this group. I am interested in learning many types of photography, including,

underwater, macro, & studio and am interested in meeting anyone interested in these.

Currently I use a photo processing program called GIMP, and am interested in meeting anyone in

the group with knowledge of his program. I‘m interested in seeing how Photoshop Elements

works and if the investment in $$$ and time would be worth the leap to the new platform.

Brooke Gorsuch - I love photography! I‘m a newbie and so far I enjoy capturing all

sorts of moments - life, nature, events, etc. I used to work at the YWCA in college and I

remember the Camera Club meeting there so when I moved back to the area, I decided to

check the club out for myself. I‘m excited to learn more about the craft and I‘m sure I will with

the wealth of knowledge from the club members.

I‘m a stay at home mom of twin toddler girls so I don‘t get to photograph as much as I‘d like,

but sometimes they prove to be good test subjects. Actually they‘ve been the biggest inspira-

tion for my photography.

I‘ve attached one recent picture I‘m proud of, in fact this is one I entered in the Zoo Friends

competition.

Eva Ryan - Thank you for your warm welcome! I am excited to join this club and learn

from the friendliest camera group in OKC (I know because I have been attending all I can find).

I found this group on the internet several months ago but wasn‘t able to attend, something al-

ways got in the way. My first night to attend I got hammered by hail on my way to the meeting,

but that didn‘t stop me. Everyone has been very helpful in answering my questions. So I

jumped right in and have entered photos for the July 26 projected image competition. I enjoy

looking at other photographers work - it helps me become better photographer.

I love capturing the outdoors in photographs - if I‘m outdoors with my camera, I‘m enjoying life.

I‘m usually out somewhere every weekend with my camera and hope others will want to join

me in my adventures.

I‘ve recently discovered the close-up version of photography when a friend let me use her

macro lens. I now have a set of close-up filters I am using on my Nikon D5000 with lenses 18-

55 and 55-200. I will be purchasing a set of extension tubes soon because I am having so much

fun with close-up photography.

Even though I have had some kind of camera for as long as I can remember, I never thought of

myself as a photographer and so all I did was snapshots of the family (2 great kids - my son, 28

yr old Marine and my daughter, 25). In the past years I‘ve taken classes now and then, mostly

learning composition and this year learning really how to use my camera. This past year I have

taken photos like never before and loving it! Eva Ryan from Kingfisher

In the introduction to The Best

Camera is the One That's with

You, Chase Jarvis' book of pho-

tographs made over the course

of a year using his cell phone,

he states that as an artist, he

felt more free with the little cam-

era built into his iPhone than he

ever had with other cameras

and that somehow, he had re-

covered an innocence lost and

was able to see the world anew.

It is in this spirit that we arrived

at the idea of the juried exhibi-

tion Can You See Me Now:

Photos Made on Phones run-

ning through October 1. This

exhibit features 34 photos made

on cell phones, each by a differ-

ent artist, that our panel of

judges felt best represented the

use of the cell phone camera.
