While I’ve always been interested in taking photographs, I’ve never had any driving interest in being any good at it. I’ve always wanted to take a good photo of something that I was experiencing but I’ve always felt that going too much into the details of things like ISO or focal length was too much to bother with.
Then I became the Yearbook teacher at school and so I HAD to learn how to take better photos, just so I could teach the students. Thanks to hours on YouTube, I put together some of the basic skills of photography but I also realized how much more I needed to learn. I used some of the budget money from the Yearbook fund to purchase a DSLR camera (the best purchase I could have made for the Yearbook) and just started practicing.
Things have been going pretty well for a couple of years but now I’m ready to step up my game. So this past Christmas I purchased my own personal DSLR which I’ve also been using off-and-on for the past several months. But now I plan on taking the next few months, mainly summer break to start really learning all of the ins and outs of photography and becoming better at it.
This will also help me in my other endeavor of digital animation which I’ve been playing with in Blender.
