A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

What made you get into photography? (alien.top)

When I walk around, there are always things that catch my eye. It's usually colours, shapes, shadows, how the light falls in a certain way. That's how I got into photography. I wanted to learn how to capture those things, moments. Learn how to do it in a visually interesting way. Because taking a photo of an interesting subject is one thing, but taking a captivating photo is something else. So I "borrowed" my dad's dusty Nikon & started taking classes & workshops. Ten years and 3 cameras later, I'm still in love with the art.

I'm curious. Photographers, what made you start to photograph?

To prove to myself that I am better at photography than my ex is. So I enrolled in my high school's photography class. The teacher had us shoot in film. It helped me stop and think. I had to picture what the photo would look like so I don’t waste this roll of film. This just gave me a release. Know I am looking for a digital camera to shoot with.
