Even a few years ago the photography thing was trapped in a small limited circle. Photography is probably the most common form of art in recent times. I think there are many reasons for this. One, the availability of DSLR and equipment. Two, in the past, people's pudding used to be tight, which is very easy to learn on the internet. The three and biggest reasons - before the photo could not move, very few people had the luck or ability to exhibit, now uploading to Facebook / Flickr cash exhibition, cash wow!
I am still afraid to show the audacity to introduce myself as a photographer, but I am very interested in the subject. While I was studying filmmaking a lot, I bought HDSLR to learn cinematography and did several courses on HDSLR cinematography. Although I used to like to take pictures, but this time I fell in love with taking pictures. And there was no alternative to true direction or cinematography. Because of the lack of photography sense of cinematographers in most of Bangladesh, we see Gu-Mut quality productions in our TV / movies. So I'm an "accidental photographer". Since I am not a photographer myself, many mistakes are made by those who are true photographers. I also wrote this article with info from some articles on the internet.
Usually people have some misconceptions about photography. Photographers also have a lot of misconceptions. Below I am tweaking them a bit.
Misconceptions about the photographer:
1. Photographer means free: The main reason for this idea is that there were more poets than cowherds in the country, now all poets have more photographers than hair. When many people get a chance to take a picture, they run to the greed of waving their hands, that is very good. However, seeing this, many people think that even experienced photographers are available for free. Excluding hard-earned talent or knowledge, how unreasonable is it for a person who has worked so hard to buy a camera and equipment to charge one-fifth of the price of all his equipment as rent? If buying a 20 rupees potato and sitting on a plate and earning 5 rupees an hour is a job, then why don't you want to spend 10,000 rupees to take a picture of yourself using a 2 lakh rupees machine? Listen to the story of every professional photographer who buys equipment, not the mummy daddy photographer of the rich, you can't eat without Sentu.
2. A good photographer means a good camera: which series of car lenses, which car has a huge battery grip, what is the body of the camera, what does it mean if the eye behind the camera viewfinder is blind and the brain behind the eye is bull? Good gear, of course, works, enhances the ability of a photographer, but don't forget that Leonardo da Vinci painted ink with no ink.
3. Wedding Photography - To Ankkach - Kudduch O Kare - Many people think that wedding photography means that you can get a good picture only if you pose in a pose. If you want your pictures to be beautiful, you don't just have to have a beautiful khoma, you also have to have an elem of the photographer. If, like Elizabeth Taylor, you plan to get married once or twice without getting married again and again, set aside a budget to keep these 4 wonderful memories alive for a lifetime. Once you eat Roast Rezala, people will leave, you will see the pictures for life. If you don't know, I am saying that there is a 3 month course abroad on wedding photography. I saw on Facebook the very happy thing that has started in that country.
4. Angry picture? Definitely Photoshop: When you see a nice dazzling picture, don't think of doing a miracle in Photoshop. A good photographer always has a target to take "in camera" pictures. Thousands of photography tricks have been used for ages before the digital age. And in this digital age, people are experimenting with more fun, because they don't have to go to the darkroom to know the results of the experiment, as can be seen in the LCD.
5. There are cheaper photographers on the market: of course there are. In the age of competition, there are people who can take good pictures very cheaply. But don't forget that the person who has been taking pictures for a long time is less likely to be mistaken, and the three are cheaper. Seemingly the same, the ganja is deep.
Misconceptions about photographers:
1. Abuse - Shallow Depth of Field: Shallow Depth of Field is simply a beautiful thing to blur except for the focused part of the image. That is the first difference when upgrading from point-and-shoot camera to DSLR. So many people start to miss-use the joy of the mind. Do not want to get off the maximum aperture of the lens. Because the fun of DSLR is over. It doesn't take a Nilkhet guidebook to learn how much aperture a picture should have. Browse Flickr, see the work of Ghagu photographers, understand for yourself.
2. Abuse - Black and white and monochrome: All black and white are monochrome but not all monochrome is black and white. Pictures painted with different shades of one color are called monochrome. Monochrome pictures are usually more dramatic than color pictures. The technical reason is that the presence of color in a color picture diverts attention from the line. Then everything looks dramatic in black and white. So the emerging photographers tried to pass the habijabi picture with this technique. Why take a picture in black and white, ask yourself the question and if you like the answer then take the picture. If you always find the reason for taking black and white pictures, you have nothing to say but to go far and invite them to eat murdi.
3. Abuse - Photoshop: I saw someone's excellent status on Facebook. If poems were written with Photoshop, there would be more poets in the country, not photographers. My idea is to use Photoshop as a photographer only if your image is 95% perfect, not the other 5%. The darkroom of the film era is the current ADB lightroom. The image can be made more enjoyable by moving different perimeters in the lightroom. But it is not creativity to take a picture and upload it miraculously, it can be called autistic. If investing more than 5% of the thought behind a photo in your photography is post-production, you are not a photographer, no matter how many fan-friendly “Kudduch Photography” pages you have. However, I know a lot of fan graphic designers who think of graphic projects with their camera in hand. They spend less than 5% on photography, 95% on project planning and post-production. That is another profession. They do not claim to be photographers themselves. If I did, I would go away and invite them to eat murdi.
4. Abuse - Towels (!): Towels are a great thing to do on location photography. Towels can do a great job of wiping away sweat, from wiping lenses to wrapping them around the lens to protecting them from dew. However, many people think that you can't become a photographer if you don't hang a towel around your neck. They thought a few days ago that you can't understand if you don't criticize Picasso's picture while standing at the Aziz Super Market and drinking the rest of the tea. Hang a towel around your neck so your camera doesn't start taking instant copa pictures on its own, but leave the show off and follow the tutorials of the world's best photographers on YouTube to see how simple they are.
5. Positive Criticism of People's Pictures - I said positive criticism, not positive criticism, so that the words can be easily understood. If a picture of a person looks bad for any reason, then tell me why it looks bad instead of saying "you can't do it" type. Because when you hear criticism, you can understand which class you are. I saw a picture on Facebook a long time ago, a novice photographer tried a panshot. Many savvy photographers were giving him a lot of knowledge, but no one was saying where his problem was. This point reminds me of the early days of photography. My famous Murubbi photographers used to come to my pictures and give negative comments. When I wanted to know where the problem of the film was to avoid future mistakes, the dignitaries would not answer the question thinking it was an insult. Much out of this frustration we later formed a group called “Snaps”, where small-minded people like not wanting to share knowledge with anyone who doesn’t have one. If you think someone's picture could be a little better, give him that idea. Believe me, he will be grateful, and one day you will be rewarded for it. I swear!
6 . MyWay or Highway: "It would be nice to be a little to the right, it would be nice to be a little to the left." Just as you think of yourself as a Ghagu photographer and take a picture thinking of something, so someone else thinks of something else. Maybe you didn't understand. If you believe there is something called "wrong picture", change your name to Affidavit. If a picture is "could have been better", does that mean the picture is wrong?
7 . Reluctance to go beyond grammar: It is written in the book, so you have to follow it blindly. If this is your idea, then not everything written above is for you. Grammar must be known, must be obeyed as much as possible. But if you are stuck in it, know that - you missed a lot in life, grandfather.
8 . Supernatural marriage: Do you play hard after hearing the title? Explaining. Many wedding photographs show ghosts making movie posters to show off their "creativity." The purpose of glamor photography is no longer the same as wedding photos. Don't make the wedding picture pudding with excessive brass. It is not artistic work, autistic.
