Photography Is Slow And Time Comsuming Process 相忘於水 - Queen Elizabeth Park 10667e
Picture taking is usually a slow and time consuming process although the click of shutter is a fraction of one second most of the time.
Photographers find an interesting subject with a good setting (background) and good light condition. Then he/she will work on it. Finding a good spot or point of view that you can make a good arrangement of all visual elements in the scene i.e. the composition. Finally wait for the right moment to shoot.
Before the click, you have to decide on the filtration (filter), exposure compensation, white balance, aperture and desirable shutter speed etc.
The entire process can take 10 to 30 minutes, sometimes hours or even days to make it happen.
For those decisive moments on street that you think street photographers catch it by luck. Think it again. Actually he/she discovers the location and works on it for days or hours in order to get the shot.
I find the Canadian goose at the pond in Queen Elizabeth Park. I took a few shots in far distance. Then I move in closer every 5 minutes one shot after another. Finally I got the tight composition I am looking for. I think the process took me at least 25 minutes to finish.
The goose is trusting me that I will not attack him or hurt him anyway.
This is just an illustration for the story of photography being result of patience and work over time. No matter you are doing bird, landscape or street photography.
Wish you a good day!
Happy shooting!

世間所有的相遇，都是久別重逢。
和一只加拿大雁相遇，凝視她30分鐘，是相忘於水，還是淡出鳥來？
