Take the photo you want, preconceived with the desired result.
Manufacturers seem to make it very easy for us with pre-programmed settings for portrait, landscape, sports or macro photography. However, that often does not give the desired result, not the photo you had in mind. Just because you don't know what you're doing exactly. This applies to composition, focus point, exposure, depth of field and exposure time. Existing light or the use of the (sometimes) indispensable flash.
I studied at the Photography School, but my expertise was taught to me by photo specialists who still did everything by hand in terms of settings. Whether it was black and white, diapositives or color photos. My teachers are Masters in photography, film development, camera field. Sometimes we still contact and discuss photography subjects.
In the mid-1980s, they already started programming (Apple) computers. They Learned me development schemes for films, color overviews of diapositive films (which (slide) film do you use, for example, when photographing portraits in daylight or studio flashlight, which for landscape shots or architecture, or for oil or acrylic paintings by old masters. And in the early 1990s they taught me everything about digital photography.
In the early 90s, the first digital photo cameras in the affordable segment were released. Recordings are stored on tape (Canon ION) or floppy (Sony Mavica's) with a resolution of 480x640 pixels. Display quality was still in its early stages, but the art of photography has remained the same as it did 100 years ago.
It wasn't just the field and hobby they were doing, but the entire craft of photography and photography that they taught me. I was trained daily by these craftsmen with passion and pleasure for ten years and I hung on their every day breathlessly and absorbed everything they said. I met my (current) wife at the same company, 30 years ago. After a year e not a relations, five year later we tot two children and we tot married in 2001. I left the photography specialist, starting my down business and my wife worked there for another 25 years.
