Take time to create great photos!

When I first started taking digital images, I was not a fan. My images were just not as good to me as my film. I just didn't understand.. After all, I could now take as many digital photos as I want right! And I was shooting alot of images. After having this conversation with a colleague he enlightened me! He told me to treat it like film! Film was precious. Only 24 pictures, no second chances.. You had to get it right! I'm not saying we need to go back to film. What I am saying is when taking a photo with your digital whatever.. Take the time to create something special!

The time required to take a good photo can vary greatly depending on the subject, environment, equipment, and desired outcome. In some cases, a good photo can be captured in a split second, while in other cases, it may take hours or even days to get the perfect shot.
Factors that can affect the time required to take a good photo include:

1. Preparation: Before taking a photo, it's often necessary to do some preparation work, such as scouting out the location, setting up equipment, and preparing the subject. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours depending on the complexity of the shoot.
2. Lighting: Lighting is a critical component of photography, and getting it right can take time. If the lighting is not optimal, the photographer may need to wait for the right time of day, use additional lighting equipment, or experiment with different angles and settings to get the desired effect.
3. Composition: Creating a visually appealing composition is essential for taking a good photo. This may involve adjusting the framing, perspective, or depth of field, which can take time to get just right.
4. Timing: Sometimes, the perfect shot requires waiting for the right moment, such as capturing a specific expression on a subject's face or waiting for a bird to take flight. This may require patience and persistence to get the timing just right.

In general, taking a good photo requires a combination of technical skill, artistic vision, and patience. While it's possible to capture a good photo quickly, it often takes time, effort, and practice to consistently produce high-quality images.

Oh, and happy PI day!
