[QUOTE="J-see, post: 397269, member: 31330"] After years of painting I again picked up the cam and since that was only about five months ago, it's hard for me to judge my own photos. When I started I was aware not every shot I'd take would be a winner but if I'd take two good shots a day, I'd be doing well. In the beginning that was easy but nowadays I seldom meet that quota. I've taken about 40k shots with both cams and my catalog contains no more than 150 survivors. And even those suffer shortcomings. But if I'd have to pick one of the survivors, it'd be the shot that snapped me out of an appreciation for photography purely for the related problems into an appreciation for the colors and light. I'm someone that has a soft spot for problems. I'm drawn to them like moths to fire. It doesn't even matter what sort; abstract or real. My mind becomes absorbed and while, I exist within a bubble. While walking outside, I am oblivious to reality and could walk past my own parents without noticing. A large part of my photography was more about related problems than about whatever subject I shot. And there are that many problems all the time, I stumbled from the one into the other. But after buying the D750 and taking my first night shots, the colors and light amazed me during processing. Afterwards I noticed that when walking outside, I became aware of colors and light. It might seem strange to others but I always had, what I call, B&W vision. I noticed contrast, composition, shapes but colors simply didn't register that well. Occasionally yes, but overall I was oblivious to them. But after seeing what the D750 grabbed that night, my vision slowly started to change and with it my attitude towards photography. What first was purely a matter of problem solving slowly became attempts to grab that light. Any problem that needs to be solved now is in function of that. The shot might not be that great, at plenty a level, but it was the beginning of an awakening. [ATTACH=CONFIG]131280._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
