Photography is a new hobby of mine. It's frustrating when I am not able to get the right settings but it is also very exciting when I get it right. Photography is like a complicated math equation. Correct settings + composition + lighting = beautiful photo. Over the weekend, I took Waggly to Fort Funston and I brought my camera with me. At one point, I was kneeling awkwardly on the ground trying to get a particular shot and I didn't realize there was an older man standing behind me patiently waiting to cross the path.
He started talking to me, "Do you know what makes a great photograph?" He pointed at the sky and told me that on certain days, the clouds move in closer which would cause the light to hit the trees with a blue tint, creating a beautiful glow. He then pointed at a tree (there are tons of trees there) and asked if I saw the blue tint. I didn't know which tree he was pointing at nor did I see any blue tints but I nodded anyways. He continued talking about the perfect picture and 5 minutes into it, I was intimidated by his knowledge and felt the need to tell him that I'm new to photography. He looked at me and said "I don't know anything about photography but I know what's beautiful".
