I don’t know anything about photography. I have a small camera that easily fits into a jacket pocket. It’s of a type that’s often called point-and-shoot, and that’s what I do with it – point and shoot. Although it has lots of other features, I always have it on AUTO and only zoom in or out. For the rest, I let the camera do the work.
I don’t know anything about photo editing either. The only editing software I use is the programme provided by Microsoft. I don’t even know what it’s called. I can straighten the horizon if necessary, rotate photos, make them darker if they’re overexposed, and cut off bits I don’t like. That’s all.
Being a seriously good photographer takes a lot of dedication, practice and know-how. But enjoying taking pictures doesn’t. Photography can be a lot of fun, even for somebody who doesn’t know anything about it. You don’t need any fancy equipment – a small camera or even a smartphone will do. And you don’t need to travel far, either. I didn’t leave the house for any of the pictures here.
Standing in the front door opening, I photographed the roofs of the terraced houses across the street.
Fijne blog over een gedetailleerd oog! Prachtige structuren heb je gefotografeerd. Mooi te lezen en te zien.
Take care, lieve Marijke
Dank je wel! Fijn om je hier even te ‘ontmoeten’.
Definitely one of the upsides of spending so much time at home is the opportunity to stop and really take in the surroundings we see – but don’t see every day. I love your photographs!
Thank you! I saw the same kind of mechanism at work in your Tales from the Potting Shed.
