Amazing Photo Exhibition

Looking at the photos I take at the photo exhibitions, most of the time my first thought is, I'd like to be that photographer one day. Not the one who exhibits their photos, but the one that takes such photos. Each photo is an inspiration for me, a lesson to learn if you like and I truly believe you can be as great as some, if you make an effort, both personal and financial, as you need quite a gear to do what the best does.

But am I taking any steps towards that goal? No! 😆 Why not? Because it's not a priority right now and if I'm brutally honest, I don't know when it's going to be. I love photography, as a hobby and as a means of capturing the moment, but at the moment, that's all there's to me.

So till I decide to take this seriously, let's see what professional photographers do and possibly learn from them as well.

Botond Kinda - Trio

This photo participated in the "Water Wildlife" category at the last photo exhibition organized for Hungarians around the world. It wasn't picked as a winner, but for me it is still a winner as it's a fantastic photo. Have a look at it and think of how many occasions you've had in life, to capture such a moment. Me? None.

Tibor Kántor - The Ugly Duckling

Well, I understand the pun in the title, but this duckling is everything but ugly and to capture such a moment that well, you need a lot of things, among which opportunity, your gear and the willingness of the duckling to pose for you. This marvelous photo participated in the same category as the one above.

Jenő Bíró - Dawn

Although I recognize the beauty of it and hats off in front of the photo artist, as I've never taken such a photo, it's not really my first choice, when it comes to choosing. Unfortunately dawns and sunsets have been abused so much that I'm seeing them as kitschy. It's my fault, I know, but doesn't make me like it better.

Ferenc Holop - Inheritance

This subject is available to everyone and unlike animal photos, the subject here doesn't move. You can go visit it anytime you want or can and it stays put while you take the shot. Still, how many have a good eye to capture this and frame it as perfectly as the photographer above. For me, it looks like lace. I love it! Black and white is always a good decision in case of architecture.

There were a few photos without label, this was one of them, but if I were to give it a title, I'd say pantomime. It's a fun experience, I can tell you that. I did it once, a whole photo shoot, to capture the shadow and trust me, it's not as simple as it seems from where you're sitting now, but it's fun.

Szilamér Horgász - Sheet Music

If I say this is perfection, that's an understatement. I don't know who set up those speakers and wires and how those wires were aligned, but it's just extraordinary. Love it!

Lajos L. Lőrinc - Parliament

Another golden hour photo, which is great in itself. I suppose it's the Hungarian Parliament on the eastern bank of the Danube. I took some cool photos there once, it was close to sunset, but we could not stay for longer and it wasn't quite the right time.

Zsuzsanna Olasz - Prison Flower

Last, but not least, another fantastic photo, that wins it all in my eyes. Got special mention at the exhibition. Look at the angle the photo was taken from, the arcs, the light and the shadow. It's absolutely amazing.

Let me know which one is your favorite, if you have one at all. If not, that's ok too.

Trio wins for me, they are 3 and perfectly aligned at the same height, yet one behind the other so you can see all 3 of them, it's just such a lucky coincidence... The quality is also excellent... No match for the others even if they are good

I agree. I think you only get one chance in life, to capture such a photo and some get none 😆

The first and the last are top!
A photographer has to be a bit of an artist — that’s exactly what I feel I’m missing, and I’m not sure how to develop that skill. The best I can think of is to look at more great work, and maybe that will bring a better understanding.

The first one requires a lot of things among those a buch of luck as what is the chance to catch such s scene? You cant just organize the birds to fly aligned like that.

The last one requires a bit of practice but it's totally doable. You can go to a church and find a similar setup. Orthodox churches have similar spaces I think, you just have to go when the light is right, then explore every angle and analyze at home which one is good and why.

Architecture can give you a lot and it's easy as well as buildings can stand still, unlike living creatures 😂

To be honest, I don’t know which one to choose today; there are some really good photos… and I’ll tell you, I’d love to become a professional photographer, but as you say, now isn’t the right time, though it will be soon.

The last photo is perfect in terms of framing and angles. The photo of the shadow is another beauty, but for some reason the ugly duckling is staring right at me... it intimidates me and says... choose me!!!

What fabulous photos they all are!

👀👀👀 Let me know when!

The ugly duckling is also a wonderful piece. I fully agree.

Just out of curiosity, what should happen for you to qualify as a professional photographer?

I suppose it’s down to having taken some courses, although there are plenty of people who have a natural talent. Having studied drawing and painting helps me a lot when it comes to colours, shadows, light, perspective and everything else.

Greetings @erikah ,

Thank you for this lovely collection of photographs and your composed written thoughts.

Since you have invited the viewer to select a favourite.....Thank you...I shall. ^__^

The beautiful duckling...in a moment in time. Ducks have a way of endearing themselves to humans...I think.

Here's wishing you well in your artistic pursuits.

Kind Regards, Bleujay
