Who doesn't love a good challenge? I certainly do, especially when it comes to learning something new and developing my skills. As a graphic designer, I'm always looking for trends and inspiration and the same applies to my photography. I thought that I had been training my eye to seek out beautiful light, but as it turns out, my eye has been training me.
Our eyes interpret light differently than our cameras, so naturally, we get frustrated when we're not able to capture in camera what we see before us. Digital photography and post-production software has made it a lot easier to shoot what we see, but there are tricks and techniques that can be applied in-camera to save time and improve your end result.
