The phrase “See with your eyes, photograph with your heart” is a well-known and often-quoted aphorism by David duChemin, a Canadian photographer, traveler, and author of books on the art of photography.
Less well known are the words of Polish photographer Ryszard Horowitz: “A camera doesn’t take pictures, just as a typewriter doesn’t write novels. It is people who take them.”
Have you heard Tomasz Tomaszewski’s words: “A good photographer must first and foremost be a good person—someone who can empathize with and understand others”?
Will I ever be able to achieve what the authors cited are talking about?
I don't know.
What I do know, though, is that the more I take photos, the more I have to learn
A dragonfly whose species I cannot identify
A small waterfall in the Adršpach Rocks (Czech Republic)
Wrocław (Poland)
I took all the photos with Nikon cameras. The dragonfly was photographed with the 100mm Macro lens, and the waterfall and Wrocław were photographed with the Sigma 17-50mm lens.
All the photos have one thing in common, and it's not the camera brand.
Can anyone guess which one?
I'll give you a hint: the second photo best captures this characteristic, while the first photo is the least consistent with that “something.”
