Photography isn't a recipe

November 18, 2019 in journal

f/64, 1/12,500sec, ISO 12.

One of the things I loved the most from Austria was the tirolean dumplings. So, so good! We want to make them ourselves, so we've been looking for some recipes online.

The list of ingredients only tell part of the story, the instructions of how to make them is what matters. Usually, we can get away with replacing some of the ingredients and still get a delicious meal, maybe even better than the original!

Photography isn't very different.

We still like to share our settings and equipment used, but forget to mention what really matters when it comes to make a great image: why we were there at that moment and what we were trying to create -if anything at all.
