The truth of photography

No one would know how hard work it is to be a photographer, because photographer always work alone... and people think a photographer only need to press the button and click, and the photo is done but thats just the final step of the whole process of professional photography from planning, setting up lights/tripods, getting to the right amount of light using aperture/shutter speed, changing the lenses for the suitable shots, taking a picture from a weird angle, catching a moment, sometimes getting ups and downs of places to get the right position and place for the shot, etc etc etc... some times after the pictures are taken, they arent taken exactly how the pictures they wanted to be taken and the process start all over again.

Photography includes quick thinkings, planning, physical works, cooperations with people, good use of the element of light, time management, take test shots but dont take thousands of test shots, and if its a film camera you better of knowing the film developing process.

Photography is hard work but its rewarding simply when people say "oh! your picture is nice/stunning/beautiful........."
