Digital Photography Course-Finding a subject

Finding a subject

Finding a Subject

• trouver un sujet

• Some beginners simply make pictures of whatever appeals to them; invariably the results are mediocre. Take the analogy of a sportsman: imagine someone wanting to excel in football, cricket, rugby, tennis and swimming. If he were attempting all five at once, he would not achieve very much, but by concentrating upon one – or at most two – his success and satisfaction would obviously be greater.

• Quelques novices font simplement des images de quoi que les appels à eux ; immanquablement les résultats sont médiocres. Prendre l'analogie d'un sportif : s'imaginer quelqu'un voulant exceller dans le football, le grillon, le rugby, le tennis et la natation. S'il tous tentait cinq tout de suite, il n'atteindrait pas beaucoup, mais en concentrant sur l'un – ou à plus deux – son succès et sa satisfaction seraient évidemment plus grands.
