Today while sorting through some
old boxes I found a photo album filled with the first ever photos that I took
as a young budding photographer. I was around nine years old when I first
started using our family’s film point and shoot camera and I still remember my
Dad’s ‘training’ on how to use it. Basically it consisted of this advice:
‘Don’t take too many shots’
Remember, this was back in the
day of film photography where film and processing costs made my Dad’s advice
pretty sound. However looking back over my early images I wish he’d taught me a
few other things about taking photos. Here’s some of the advice I could have
benefited from hearing.
