I recently stumbled upon Rebecca's videos on YouTube. This video really gave me a lot to think about when it comes to what it means to properly expose an image. I hope it can also provide you with food for thought.

For me, this video helps to address the "story" a photograph tries to tell. Most of the time I have NO idea what story I'm telling. I'm not even sure I WANT to tell a story. Besides that, the very idea of telling a story is usually too BIG for me to think about in the moment I'm pressing the shutter button.

On the other hand, her idea of the "heartbeat of the moment" is easier to digest. I CAN take more time to consider what I'm seeing and try to expose for what I think that scene requires.

Definitely food for thought. Thanks for sharing!

I agree and I too don't normally stop and look and consider why I like what I see before pressing the shutter button. If I put more thought into what I am looking at before pressing the shutter button maybe I would also not need as much time in front of the computer for looking at an image and asking myself "why did I take this picture?".

I wish my R6 mark II had the Voice Memo feature. But, then again, if people around me saw me talking to myself while taking pictures they might think I had bats in my belfry....but they probably think that anyway.....
