Photography is like golf

For me, photography is a bit like golf. The goal of my photography is to create a strong photograph that fulfills my vision, like the goal of golf is to complete the hole and course in without exceeding a certain number of swings at the ball. You must focus on the pin in golf and drive towards it. In photography, you focus on the goal of a strong image and drive towards that. In photography, just like golf, we can make a mistake and end up in the rough or some other hazard, and now we must work a bit harder to get back onto the course and our ultimate goal.

Photography, like golf, also requires a bit of practice and the honing of our skills. It is important to keep our gear in working good condition. Sometimes, it is important to practice our photography skills just like a golfer may go to the driving range to practice their swing.

Don’t be afraid to practice and exercise your photography skills. Take your camera gear to the photography driving range and practice without having to worry about creating a magical image.
