Two
So I was in a taxi in Singapore, and I wanted to experiment with the shutter speed of the camera, and that's what I did... I edited it to create the, you know, vintage effect. I learned how to do vintage photography from the web, and I'm still not good at it. Like, I don't know the right proportions, I don't know whether it would look greater this way or that, I don't know lots of stuff on measurements of a good edited-photo.
Oh, and by the way, back then, my innocent self believed that the best photographers never used Photoshop. The best photos were original and non-Photoshop. Turned out I was wrong. Everybody uses Photoshop or softwares alike to enhance their photo quality. I felt that I was lied to..., I was like, all this time..., all those great photos were Photoshopped?? I mean, that was a real blow. But anyways, I learned that the important thing is not whether the photo is original or edited. The most important thing is whether the world can see what we see -I mean, whether we can make people see what we see through our pictures... Is it true, is it like that? Or is it that we can make the most uninteresting things interesting when people see our pictures? Or is it simply so people can relate to out pictures and find meaning in it? *Alright sorry I talk too much*
Let's just conclude that each individual values photography in their own different ways. I'm really sorry I really, really am just a beginner... :s
