Just think about it—conditions have to be perfect, you gotta stumble on something you don’t often see and in the end the camera still sees things differently than you do, so you gotta compensate for it. It’s hard. So, it’s only appropriate to celebrate both the good and the bad (and the so bad, it’s good), which the Crappy Wildlife Photography group definitely does. Yep, we’re talking about Crappy Wildlife Photography, which is home to over 455,000 crappy animal photography lovers. For the common Joe with a simple approach to enjoying pictures, it’s whether they like it or not. It’s a mere criterion of taste, which, while it can have objective determining factors, usually it’s subjective and that’s quite alright. Photographer Kevin LJ lists 5 key criteria that have to be mastered in order to make a good photograph: light and exposure, composition, color and tone, timing, and relationship. Depending on the lighting, it could influence the quality and mood of the image. There’s soft light and hard light, the first of which comes from larger sources and produces gentle shadows and smooth transitions between the different lights, while the hard one comes from small sources and creates contrast. The two work together to create a visual interest, to evoke feelings and to improve upon the overall composition of the photograph. As such, these elements can be tweaked to create visually striking and resonant images. This signifies the photographer’s understanding of and empathy with the subject, which influences how authentic and genuine the photograph will be in its message. It’s like reading between the lines, except with cameras. But, if that fails, hey, there’s ample locations where your anti-talents and less than successful work can find meaning. The internet is full of these places. And if you want more, we’ll give you more. Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
