Photography as an art form has always captured my interest since my father bought me the most simple film camera that shot 24 films in a roll. It was a kiddie camera but not a toy. It had no focus lens, the simplest ever point and shoot that nevertheless could take amazing photos albeit by luck. An amazing photo is just that–it stops you on your tracks, breath taking or pull on the heart strings so strongly it could open ones wallet to support a cause or decorate the living room.
Photography is modern art that has evolved since cameras were invented. How light is captured using a camera went through a golden age in the 1900’s as film technology and cameras became more sophisticated and less cumbersome to handle. The 20th century gave rise to the photographer greats whose philosophy shaped the art.
If you are wondering what it takes to capture a great photo learning to use the technical aspects of a camera like the aperture, exposure or ISO is not enough.
