First 250 Hours of Photography – Deliberate Practice

Half way through January 2018 and I’ve now put in 250 hours of what counts and am two and a half percent of my way through the 10,000 hour project learning the art of photography.

To see what I’ve done in detail, please look at my Journal.

I think both my approach to photography and post-processing is improving, and I’ve created some images that I’m happy with.

I’ve learnt a little about colour theory, composition and have discovered some inspirational photographers and artists.

My key post was: “Composition – Early Thoughts” which took a long time to write and good deal of background reading.

1 November 2017 – Where am I Now

As I explain in my profile, I’m neither an expert photographer nor a complete novice.

I am have been a member of the Stoke Poges Photographic Club for 4 years and am currently the holder of the advanced Photographer of the Year cup.

To see what this means, click here to see a selection of what I consider to be my best images.  Note: this is my opinion; although all were entered into competitions and most did well, some spectacularly did not.

See my post on Competition Strategy.

The main purpose of this post is to provide a reference point from which improvement will hopefully be achieved.

Please help by giving you advice and guidance.
