Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography. – George Eastman
I think George Eastman would have agreed with your 3 main points. 🙂 He was the guy who “invented” photography for the common people. He came up with a camera and film that could be used easily, and the film processed cheaply. You may have heard of his company, KODAK.
If you’re shooting cattle, especially if you’re photographing bulls … you won’t want the 50mm’ buddingphotographer recommended for puppies!
Ok, so what lens do you recommend? 🙂
A lot of your points seem to be similar to my tips for puppy photography! I think there must be quite a few similarities. 🙂 (I guess I didn’t emphasize light much though, which wasn’t necessarily a good thing.)
And now for the technical side of things. 🙂
Have you ever considered embedding photos in your posts, so that people can see what picture you’re referring to?
This is what I mean: (I made it small on purpose, usually it will fill the width of the page.)
To do that, just click on the img button when you’re creating a reply/topic, and put the link to the picture in the little dialog box that pops up. If you want, you can make the image smaller as I did above, so that it doesn’t take so much room in your post. To do that, just add this bit of HTML inside the <img/> tag like this: <img src="https://files.lenspiration.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/14182906/20141003_ELF_3674.jpg?17ee50" alt="" width="300" height="auto" /> (The part that I added was: width=”300″ height=”auto”) You can change the “300” to any width that you want, it’s a measure of how many pixels across it is.
If you want people to be able to click on the picture to open it up large, you can do that too! Just highlight/select the whole <img src="https://files.lenspiration.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/14182906/20141003_ELF_3674.jpg?17ee50" alt="" width="300" height="auto" /> tag, and click on the “link” button. Paste the link to the photo in the “URL” section, and leave the “Link Text” as it is.
The only problem with this method is if you are creating a new post, but haven’t uploaded the photo that you want to embed yet! In that case, I write all my text, then attach the photos that I want to embed and “Submit”. Once it’s submitted, I edit the post, and add in the embed code using the newly uploaded picture link.
Alternatively, you can use Flickr to host your photos, that way you don’t have to jump through Lenspiration’s hoops. 🙂
