I have always aimed to be, and have always cosidered my self to be,p a slow paced photographer. I now know for surr that I am not slow enough. Because my methodology of lighting, composing, posing, shooting has become so complex, I have had to learn to compartmentalize it. I, far too often, calculate everything that needs to be done to get a shot so fast, that memory of the act of creating the image is only a blur. I will often barely even remember shooting it.
I have to slow down.
This slowing down will allow me to move forward with confirmation that I have an image technically correct, which I am even more aware now, is a high priority for me.
I have a bad habit of cosidering an image complete once it meets my technical expectations. This is a mistake. This class is changing my ideals on what I consider complete. Once the technical is complete, then an image is ready to begin creating.
I have been quiting at the beginning step.
