The Art of Photography

Photography is a very special form of art. Good photography is not easy to come across but when it is found it should be given its due credit and praise. The reason why it believe that photography is a special art form is because it takes a lot of skill to take a good photograph.

First of all, an eye for what makes a good picture is a necessary requirement of the photographer, as well as an understanding of space, balance, colour, light, not to mention the process of working with a technical camera in varying light, speed, distance, close-up settings.

There is no doubt that photography along with painting and drawing, maybe even more so, will always be with us as a way of recording our past and present and also as a way of promoting not only the photographer's style but also the art of looking at and focussing on an image that will last for ever.

Comments welcome.
