Which are you? I am a Image Maker. Even with my iPhone (yes I admit I have and use one) I think before I hit the shutter. I think that is the difference. Good Image Makers, aka photographers and videographers think and don’t just react to a scene, situation or event. Another good qualifier is to look at a body of images and see if they make sense. Yes, make sense, do they tell the story or stimulate a response? So…… even if you’re an amateur next time, look and compose before you take that picture. Happy shooting…
Techy stuff: All images shot at Sunset at Mission Beach, Ca. with a Nikon D3 and processed in LightRoom3.
