I am born copy cat. When i was a baby, i was\u00a0spoon fed; well I was not the 1st person who knows how to eat. When I can stand, mum taught me to walk, and yea, I was not the 1st person who knows how to walk and then run like any other man kind. Later I was taught to speak, read, write and sing (which i suck at it) and all others things just like you. So do you admit that you are a copycat?? I do!!<\/p>\n
Why this topic, you may ask? Did some one say I am a copy cat? Well if anyone said that, I will proudly say yes but I will tell them at least i am admitting that I\u2019m one but not living in denial and claiming myself that I am the 1st to do this and I am the best and I always invent something<\/em> by myself which is totally BULLSH*T!!!! This write up is to share my opinion as a new comer in photography industry, as a “junior” photographer as the “seniors” address us, and as a “copy cat” who the “BAST-the 1st Egyptian cat god” claims.<\/p>\n Some years back, I use to snap my family function using my uncle\u2019s film camera and I was the junior photographer of the family and yea my aunty and uncle was the one who taught me how to snap like them, so I copied their style which is placing the subject right in the middle of the frame and make sure there is some space in between the head and the foot. ROFL \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n Later, I got my 1st<\/sup> point and shoot and quench out every bit of the juice of the camera that I can get but I still find the something<\/em> is not there in the photos. I cant find the something<\/em> like other photographers work. See, again I try to copy cat by comparing with other photos. So I thought maybe the camera has limitation and that\u2019s the reason its different output.<\/p>\n Hence, there goes my 1st<\/sup> DLSR, a Canon 400D and I was overjoyed and thinking that, yeay, I\u2019m gonna make the pictures that have that something<\/em> that I cant get in my point and shoot camera. And I started to shoot and shoot and shooooooot but yet the output, hmmm, not so the something<\/em>. So I went online, look for other photographers work and compare what is wrong, and I couldn\u2019t find the error. With frustration, I planned to read up more online, e-books even though I hate reading but this passion got me going and reach out all the possible resource to get that something<\/em> in my photos.<\/p>\n
