Yesterday, we talked about learning to see. Once you learn to see the details you can start to learn to visualize your images. The photograph I have included above was not completed in Photoshop or Lightroom to give it the blackened background. I saw the flowers and knew the look I wanted, which was to isolate the flowers completely from their surroundings. All it took was a bit of a flash and a small aperture. One of the reasons I say you can start to learn to visualize we all know the frustration of having an idea for something but just can’t seem to pull it off. Another part of being able to visualize is being able to control your equipment to help you complete your mind’s eye vision.
Learn how to use your equipment and be able to control it all the way to its manual settings. Just like any artist being able to control your tools makes creating your art much easier and much less frustrating.
