how do you avoid becoming overwhelmed by the sheer amount
stuff you have to learn in photography and what is the correct
order correct in inverted commas order in which to learn photography
well I got an email from a very nice guy called Peter Williamson hope you don't mind
me
shouting your name out here but i just it was such a relevant question the need
to address it in one of my monolgues
Peter wrote: what do you consider the most important order
to learn photography for example should I concentrate on exposure
first and then composition or maybe depth of field and then how focal length works
works there is so much to learn
but what is the logical order in terms of importance
is a big question among some building blocks photography court actually
addresses but that's the more advanced people don't go there at the moment if
you're starting off
just don't go there the overwhelm first we've all experienced that
very unpleasant sensation going at buying a camera being all excited and
going out and starting to shoot some pictures
and then it slowly starts to dawn on you hang on there's more to this than meets
the eye there's more to this than I thought I just thought the camera woud do
it for you
for me and and it's not a nice feeling being completely overwhelmed by the
sheer volume
of stuff photography is like an elephant, it's like a heard of elephants
it's big and not only is it a heard of elephants, they're all playing leap frog, they're jumping over each
other and they're running around in an out of eachother
because all those things light shutter speed, depth of field, aperture
focal length: composition its all changing almost every single situation
so there are very very few with
definitive answers but
don't get overwhelmed by if you gonna eat an elephant there's only one way to
do it
and that's one small bite at a time, and that's how you do your photography
the place to begin in my opinion is with your composition I don't care if using
full time auto mode,
just look at your composition okay
I've got loads and loads of free videos about composition if you're watching this
on YouTube on my own website click the link in the text below and
there's a link to all my composition videos they're all free
don't just concentrate on the subject
look at the picture in the viewfinder look all the way around the edge
learn how to line things up had to move things about don't have to note is it
something that growing at someone's head all the something distracting in the
corner but pitcher
and how to deal with it because then your pet is gonna start to look more
interesting
and then you will become more interested in your pictures
and your son to get itself inspired to start to feel good start to feel groovy
yeah and then when you like that you gonna start sucking other stuff too
would you be hungry for more
the next 1i would go to his light
composition and then start looking at light line is a difficult one to learn
like is weird stuff
you can see the light I mean I'm standing here there be light in front me
right there I can see the light and you can see where the light is landing on
may you can see the light traveling between the two
there are qualities have light like the side of my face is very slightly
brighter than
that's on my face and check out my liked videos against in the text below this
and start looking at life it could take you a long time
an issue in this free read people who can instinctively see
and recognize light as you become self conspired with a stick and you become
more hungry
you then a place to start looking at the other much more technical things like
focal lengths and
the the impact faster or slower shutter speed manual exposure using white
balance creatively
and had a bowl and all that stuff together because you've already got some
nice pictures
because of composition in light thano in my opinion
kinda the second foundation you are the first this year you take the picture not
the camera
but don't be overwhelmed by it start off with those take
