More Than a Click was created to share with you my journey in using the Digital Age in expressing myself as an artist using Photography. This blog also shares my process as a photographer. Once photography turned from film to digital so much changed for me. There were far more choices in setting up the DSLR cameras than there was for film cameras. No more darkroom but many different applications to use in processing one's images on a computer. All of this can be overwhelming and for me using the DSLR was very hard in the beginning. 

​Please don't let the technology hold you back. Don't worry about all the settings. Just go out and shoot. Develop an eye, understand that photography is painting with light and concentrate on composition. Remember you can delete delete delete with these cameras! You won't be running up a bill on developing and film.

Once you have grasped that and become comfortable take time to learn the basics and maybe take more control by learning shutter and aperture priority.

Regarding editing, all photography is edited to a degree. Our eyes see differently than the camera and an adjustment of tonal contrast after a digital image is taken is a must. There is an excellent article which explains some of the differences of the way a camera sees and the way we see on B and H website

There are so many editing programs available. Some are even free. Find one that works for you and maybe try others later. I certainly don't consider myself a purist as a photographer. I can take pretty pictures, actually anyone can take pictures; however not everyone can create a photograph. I believe the best image is one that tells a story and or one that translates an emotion.

I'm getting ahead of myself here. Enjoy the blogs and please feel free to leave feedback.
