Please give feedback if this is a good example of creating an image rather than just taking a picture?

Thank you for your article about creating images! You’ve articulated what makes the difference between a good shot versus a great compelling shot. Something to keep in mind whenever I’m taking photos.

Really enjoyed your comments on creating images and for the most part – when you have the TIME this is amazing. However, unless doing photo journalism or portraits, when you only have one day to see an area, then picking your shots and setting up with proper lighting and sets is almost impossible. I look for different vantage points and stuff that I carry to add to the photos I take. Asking a butterfly to sit on a certain flower in certain light just doesn’t seem to work

I do sort of agree with the notion that the digital age has made pressing the shutter button a very cheap thing to do, but that does not have to be a bad thing.

In marksmanship, I have always believed that a beginner is far better served by a single-shot firearm. Because you don’t get a quick second shot, the tendency is for the shooter to take his time to focus on fundamentals and to make every shot count. After all, ammunition costs money.

With the digital camera, shots cost you nothing, so taking advantage of that fact is not a bad thing. Surely, if the best you can do is shoot willy-nilly and hope that somewhere on your card is a good shot, you’re not really using the camera to its best advantage.

If however, you use the ability to shoot “endlessly” wisely and use the instant feedback as a means to adjust and adapt, then the digital camera becomes a boon. A good knowledge of the fundamentals is still necessary and employing them instinctively can only come with practice and feedback.

Routine may dull our sense of creativity, taking photos instead of images.
