A Photograph

Photography has something really magical, let you paint with light and allows us to bring back memories long time forgotten. It is also a way to express emotion and to show marvelous subjects such as Landscapes or a beautiful animal.

I really love take photos, it is a mixtures of so many thing that lead to a great photo: technical knowledge, patience, skills, even luck. It all plays a role so a photo is an unrepeatable moment, a fraction of second immortalized forever.

The branch of photography I like the most is wild life photography, mainly because since I was 5 or so, I went camping with my mother so I develop a great interest and link with nature and now is my passion by far so I believe I have a way to look at it not so common.

With photography you can play with exposures times and other factors, allowing us to see in a very different way than our eyes does. For example the photo attached to this blog was capture with a lot of exposition time (about 2 second), and with a very stable tripod, so all the things who doesn’t move look steady and clear (like rocks) but the water does moves in relation to the camera so it looks fuzzy, but the effect is very pleasant. And all this is achieved just playing with the light, no Photoshop involved.

Recently I’ve find out that have some photographic skills is very useful, for example I have taken photos in friend’s weddings and is a way to help them (because the hired photographer sucks!), because a nice photo of an important moment sometimes is priceless.
