Throughout my time as a photographer, I have learned several important lessons by trial and error — but mostly by completely missing the mark and trying to figure out a lesson I should learn from my failure! The most important piece of knowledge I’ve gained along the way is that when you continue to improve your creative eye, the importance of your photography gear ceases to exist. No longer do megapixels matter when you’re able to visualize a composition and then recreate it in reality. The distinctions between f/8 and f/14 are blurred when you can nail a subject on your first photograph. When you are are able to capture creative light using what the landscape gives you, you’re no longer bound by camera settings. Those are the three things that are most important to creating a visually compelling photograph. Trinities are nothing new. There have always been groups of threes throughout history. In the Christian faith, it’s Father, Son, and Spirit. In the 1980’s, it was the Little Shop of Horrors backup singers, the 90’s gave us the painful harmonies that got stuck in your head by Hanson and 3LW (remember them? I didn’t), and who knows what trio will come next to impact our lives forever…….
