Today\u2019s NaBloPoMo Prompt:<\/strong> What is the hardest subject to photograph?<\/em><\/p>\n

People, if only because I can never seem to get the lighting right. No to mentioned I prefer candid photos, but have an aversion to photographing strangers. I know, I know, as long as I am on public land I have a right to shoot anything I see. Still, I feel like it\u2019s an intrusion. Maybe if I was really good at it I\u2019d get over myself, but until then, I\u2019m going to eschew photographing people I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

I say I prefer candids because, as I\u2019ve said in other posts, I don\u2019t take pictures for the sake of keeping memories, but as a means by which to create materials for making art. Posed shots always seem to me to be so stale\u2014 unless people go and do something wacky. Again, maybe it\u2019s me\u2014 maybe if I was better at it, posed people shots wouldn\u2019t seem to plain
\nI only recently started using Lightroom and with landscapes and nature photos, it\u2019s done wonders to make my photos look a lot better. Come to think of it, I haven\u2019t even tried putting my people photos in Lightroom yet. Maybe I should give that a try, see what happens.<\/p>\n

Of course, all my NaBloPoMo photos are from instagram, so none of the above applies below \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
