Here are a few example for anyone interested to know,<br /><br />1) Instead of saying I "edit" or "photoshop" my photos, I'll say I "post process" my photos.<br /><br />2) Instead of saying "going out to take pictures", try saying "documenting a photo essay".<br /><br />3) Buying new gear = Equipment upgrade<br /><br />4) I snap the shot I like = Capturing the decisive moment<br /><br />5) Edit/photoshop colored photos to B&W = Post process thru lightroom<br /><br />6) No to pixels peeping. Yes to image quality check.<br /><br />7) If my audience does not understand the meaning of my photos, I'll tell them the photo is abstract art.<br /><br />8) Tell people how much you love travel photography although the farthest country you went to is S'pore.<br /><br />9) If my photo's white balance is way off, I'll tell people it is lomography or cross process.<br /><br />10) No pay jobs/assignments = Going thru the season of waiting & pondering of the future of you photography path<br /><br />The list can go on & on. <br /><br />The trick is that we only need to tell people the half truth, and let their imagination/assumption paint the beautiful conclusion for us . If anybody follow my suggestions listed above, anyone who is 1 month old in photography can be seen as 10 years experienced photographer.XuenPhotozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01636885145836770215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27459987.post-57017574537940718252011-07-31T16:17:46.284-07:002011-07-31T16:17:46.284-07:00Robin,
