Developed a couple of rolls of film this past week. Part of my collection of unprocessed rolls sitting around the house.
Snapshots.
A bunch of pictures mostly unworthy of further consideration.
The eye is dormant.
I have more to process and expect much the same. More snapshots.
Oh there were some that will be pleasing to someone in that first batch. About twenty portraits of a niece. Not too bad, just not too good. they will be given away, except for the one with Snickers in it, I'm keeping all pictures of my baby.
The eye that produces good pictures must be cultivated.
The way to pictures worthy of consideration is to consider the picture before you take it.
Pointing a camera and pressing the button produces snapshots.
Consider before you point the camera.
Think about the picture.
Work out the exposure.
The more you do this the easier it becomes.
Pretty soon the eye will be with you.
Pictures to follow
This is not about the Eric Hoffer book but he still might turn up from time to time.
