All in all, I'm glad my lack of confidence allowed me to skip this stage in toy photography. Anyway, I can't imagine adding "check out this epic shot" or "I took amazing photo today" to the post. It's just not me. Of course, there are photos that I'm happy with, but I don't put it right under the photo, at most if someone writes in the comment, then I reply that I'm also happy with this photo.
Of course, sometimes it's worth showing off if we feel that we've achieved something in our photo, but it's also worth avoiding extreme and vague terms like "epic". Humility towards yourself is probably the key in such a situation.
Thanks! I agree that it's perfectly fine to take pride in your photos, after all, maybe you've achieved something that's not evident in the photo but only you see and experienced yourself.
The first time I dug a hole to put my camera in for a low-angle shot was one of my proud moments, as stupid as that sounds 🤣
I'm digging a holes all the time, especially on the beach :) And I can imagine that the moment one discovers an advantages of such holes can be an EUREKA moment ;)
Absolutely! Cropping is such a great way to see different compositions. It's probably where I'm the most indecisive-- which one do I like best? Many times, I can't decide but it's still really eye-opening everytime.
Fantastic read as always, really like how you cover this potentially difficult topic in such a fair and inoffensive way. And as usual it really is a useful opportunity to reflect on my current position
Thanks! You're right that this topic could have easily gone negative-- a selling point on social media! -- but all I have to do is remember that everything I write is something I've felt or done myself so I absolutely want to be fair and inoffensive.
Thanks for this article Anna.
