When asked, “What’s the best camera?” one of my favorite photographers always answers, “It’s the one that’s with you!”
That is so true! And these days, who doesn’t carry a smart phone?! I have to say, some of my biggest inspiration comes from Instagram and places where I can take a look at what others see. It has actually taught me alot about composition, coloring, capturing light. The picture is not about the incredibly expensive camera body or fancy lens, it’s about the vision that went into it.
So if you’re out this weekend, maybe with the mothers in your life, maybe enjoying the spring sunshine, take some shots with your phone. Don’t set it up, don’t wait for poses, just keep snapping. You’ll be surprised at the wonderful expressions you capture or the beautiful scenes. Look for lines, light, juxtapostion, anything that may make it interesting. Enjoy!
And Happy Mother’s Day!
