echoes

Clicking photographs or taking good pictures isn't an art though some people have the ability to elevate it into an art form and it can be simply astounding, however taking decent pictures isn't all that difficult more so because these days the phones come with great in-built cameras not to mention filters that eat away most flaws in a photograph and almost everyone looks to have become a photographer and so more power to them but just like how writing poetry doesn't make one a poet, clicking pictures doesn't make one a photographer and so I come to my point that is even in this day and age of easy photography there are some food blogs which have the absolute worst food pics and it aches me to see such pictures because they're so badly done.

(that was a long sentence)

It's not that the food looks bad, it's the angle, the setting, the depth and the overall composition of the picture that makes it so atrocious.
Clicking a plate of cookies isn't that big a deal but making the photograph look stunning is rather difficult because a good picture entails a plethora of elements that turn a picture into a story.
of course, one doesn't look at food and think of its backstory or its future but just one look should be able to bring out a few sentiments or a bit of an eyebrow-raising and wonderment that makes you feel inspired by looking at a picture.

I have scrolled through a long series of photographs on a food blog that primarily deals with confectionaries and my oh my they have the worst pictures.
Each element is so tightly focused on or there's so much going on in the background that it takes a while to find the element that is being photographed.

Also, there is a learning curve and with time some get better and some don't as is clearly evident through that blog.

Why am I bitching about it? because I'm upset with some of my food pictures too.
 Gah!
