Allow Yourself to Let Go of the Technical Aspect in Photography

I’m sure my methods would be (or are) sometimes frowned upon by some of the ‘pros’ out there. I ask “what if” a lot. You know what? I don’t care. It’s why I am who I am and how I produce some of the images I do. I talked about this in a presentation I gave recently to a local camera club. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:493/0*2ktMZSuYh3dzEvvD.jpg" style="height:740px; width:493px" /> Puddle under the El in Chicago ©Lauri Novak Because I don’t allow myself to get all caught up in the ‘right’ way or the ‘best’ way to create an image. I’m much more of a “what happens if I …” type of person. Experimenting and playing with angles, where I place my camera and just see what happens. Honestly, for images like this one, I am likely to have my camera on Auto mode. Sometimes, I turn on the live view (when I remember). My camera is 10 years old, I do not have an articulating screen to see everything I’m doing. I’m OK with that. <a href="https://medium.com/full-frame/allow-yourself-to-let-go-of-the-technical-aspect-in-photography-2195807952ac">Learn More</a>
