I’m starting to play with the popular site Instagram. Many like it for posting their photos and videos. Instagram is fun anyway; it allows and reveals lots of user creativity. The thing is, Instagram challenges me to gain better photography skills–and I’m a pitiful beginner.
I rarely use the tools designed to improve image captures. I don’t bother carrying a tripod or using the camera’s manual settings. Mine is the quick and easy way: pointing and shooting. The images my camera captures are the luck of the draw. Some are terrific, but unfortunately, the few greats encourage me continually to apply the camera’s automatic settings.
On another day off from work, I’ll go out and practice improving my shooting. My neighbor’s dead tree can ease that job since it attracts raptors. Those beautiful birds hang around for a while, watching for prey. Their pauses give me time to act. On spotting another bird perched, I will use a tripod and manually adjust my camera, aiming for extra clear captures.
Artificial intelligence very often stimulates today’s learning needs. My upcoming venture will be responding to a website’s demands, exploring complex camera capabilities, and reaching on toward the AI-assisted photo editing universe.
Dear Friends: The future seems unimaginably creative and very confusing. Diana
