Freeze Time With Your Camera

in photofeed •  7 years ago 


It still amazes me that we’ve figured out how to capture a moment in time. We take all of the light that would be flowing into our eyes and save it, process it, then spin it out into something we can view again. In many ways, the version we view afterwards can be more powerful than the initial “real world” experience.

Our brains process a vast amount of information, it makes sense that we’d get used to glossing over the details. We can’t take in and appreciate every moment at all times, there's just too much. Photographs allow us to break that circuit, to take a freeze frame of a moment and give ourselves the required processing time to take it all in.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of “put your camera away and enjoy the moment” but if you’re not careful you’re already in the next moment and you forgot to process any of it. Take more photos, the future you will be thankful.

Photographs appreciate in value over time. Invest.

Epic shot mate, love the tones

Cheers mate! Ace to see you on my post, been following for years 👊 Looks like the Euro trip is going well so far.

I've been struggling myself with this. To take a photo or to put my camera away an enjoy the 2 seconds of whatever is going on. I found out that by taking a photo and later on when I edit it or I look at it, it takes me back to that moment while if i didn't take a photo maybe that moment will be forgoten as soon as I leave. So yes, take photos, create memories!

Another great capture mate!

👊 cheers Derek
