You will meet two kinds of friends on this journey.
Introduction
Photography is not just about taking great photography. One major aspect is involving audience, which means you get to hear good and bad feedback. Mostly you tend to skip comments that do not matter. But then, there are two kinds of people whom you feel forced to listen to. They are :
1. People whom you ‘feel’ are taking better photographs than you. Don’t worry, you will beat them one day
2. Self proclaimed photographer s( who never clicked a photo a decent photo or do not take the hobby seriously ) guiding you. They creditability is in the fact that
1. They have taken some good photographs ( it might have even happened out of luck )
2. They know lot of technical stuff and have been successfully in the past to confuse and destroy people
If you listen to them, you end day will be much closer than you expected.
Now you may wonder, why they do this ? If you have to remember that, they too wanted to become great photographers, but due to lack of talent ( which they say is lack of time, which is totol cr@p) so the only thing remaining for them to do is crab mentality
The amount of bullsh1t these people can put into your mind is tremendous. They nitpick on minor details, makes you feel like sh1t. You require a tremendous amount of calmness and strength to hear what they say and still continue your work
Remember, even vidoes on youtube of some of the mastepieces in music, get dislikes ! That’s how people are.
