The Heart of Photography



"I like the sensation of being able to freeze time, and have absolute control with what I want people to see in my images." That’s not me talking, but Dino Kintanar on his photography.

This guy, who is nutty in experimenting settings, and gritty at risky exposures and angles, could spend a hell of a time under the scorching Arabic sun; composing, angling, changing lens, etc.. just to capture that one perfect shot. Ako? Di siguro!

Honestly, getting to know some Pros, ahead of you getting to know your basic photography, would certainly cause you insecurity if not discomfort. Especially if you have already published an imagery coffee table book, that you have launched across 3 continents, e nakakahiya na talaga magtanong some basics as to your camera settings or to ask how deep is the depth of field?

Soo time con-fusing, getting to know the technical aspects of photography.

If you have neither time nor patience in understanding the manuals of your camera, that you need to know how aperture and focusing distance defines your depth of field, that bouncing your flash towards a wall is a lighting technique (as I learnt from assisting Dino on his portrait shots)or even knowing the difference between Nikon d90 or canon d400 is too complex for you, as I do, then sit back and relax, because the very heart of photography lies not in its complicated technicalities...
It lies nowhere else but only, and only in the heart of the photographer.

So get your digicam, go point and shoot!
