Bruce Wilson Article Review
In the modern day, because cameras are electric and mass produced make it much cheaper than what it used to be, thus meaning that there is barely no effort behind the photographs. Most modern photographers just point and shoot, while in the days when not only were the cameras, chemicals, and rolls of films expensive, the time spent developing the photograph was very excruciating complicated and takes several days. If a photographer wanted to take pictures in the wilderness they would have to carry hundreds of pounds, and have a mule. Because of this photographer's value their pictures more and made much of an effort by planning their photographs days if not months in advance. There is a quote in the article that intrigued me: “The more frames you shoot, the better the chance you’ll get a good photograph.” Which is true, many photographers have made masterpieces by accident. Yet I doubt they feel so accomplished if it is by accident, because you haven’t put so much effort in it. If art was dependent more on mass production the quality, we would be looking at blurs of pictures, and lumps of clay instead of statues. Quality guarantees that the art is something worth looking at, and people will want to make more of an effort. If art was easy people would become bored of it easily and it would quickly die. Instead of thousands of years of art we might only have one century worth.
Personally I have never been able to focus more than an hour of a certain picture. As a result I haven’t had as good quality of pictures as I want. But when my schedule clears up, I plan on taking more time with my photo shoots, which hopefully with result is better quality photographs.
Taking several photographs of the same object further insure you get the photograph you wanted. As long as you make an effort for the photographs to be at least semi good.
