Since getting a decent digital camera in September 2004, I’ve really got back into taking photos. It was definitely the limits the cost of film put on experimentation that stopped me before. A very similar story applies to many of us privileged to have the means, time and opportunity to get into digital photography.
I’m not saying this is a great shot of water lilies but it was my first to get me excited about the possibilities. It was a bright day and I accidentally used a slow-synch flash. I switched the flash off and tried again but later found the flash photos to be among the most interesting. I rarely use flash these days so, that wasn’t the epiphany - it was more about clicking on to the possibilities for creating a picture rather than recording a scene.
