When I first started, I had to learn the camera quickly because of my job. Getting to grips with low light is one of the hardest forms of photography to do.. I figured if I could master that first.. then shooting in perfect light conditions would be pretty easy.. Low light was something I could do every night at home.. the TV on being the only light source.. I could take 100s of photos of any object within that light source.. or a simple lamp on a table in a dark corner.. or even just candlelight as the light source.. I did this for countless hours.. Plus it saved me from going out at night hoping to get some great shots.. and coming back with a bunch of blurry shots, or shots with a lot of noise.. Too many failed trips like that can make one give up.. and a long gap between shooting waiting for the next trip to try again would throw me off track and I would forget a lot of things.. So much low light at home. I could do it every night of the week.. Once I got to a point I could shoot sharp handheld shots with a candle being my only light source.. I ventured out to a small town after hours.. The light source in the store windows and objects that were staged by designers to make the products appealing to the public.. we also made for great practice.. and I could come home with fun still life images.. eventually I moved on to photographing people on the street in low light as well.. which brought a new challenge.. because even though I could hold my camera pretty steady for subjects that don't move.. people in public movement and can blur on you.. but the light source was still much better than a candle.. I could work with even faster shutter speeds.. some of these photos I've posted before.. I'm just posting what I mean by practice photos.. even though I've been doing this for a long time.. I'll still shoot cool lights or guarding windows while doing street photography.. it's actually become a habit for me lol I'm by no means saying this is the only way to do things.. I'm just explaining what I did to help me improve.. by all means go with your heart and what works for you 🙏🏼 I hope this helps in some way 🙏🏼
