Keep Your Pictures First

If you were like me, you will delete the photo that doesn't look good immediately after you review it on the LCD screen. And I do it even more whenever I am low in storage memory (So, take my words. Please bring more memory cards or larger capacity storage card when you are out taking pictures. You never know what you will see). But seriously, you should keep the pictures and delete them after you see them on PC and you tried to revive them with software.

If you are wondering why you should do that, tell me, why do you want to get into photography? You want to keep the moment and capture the specific feeling. Now, you have to understand that a good picture doesn't necessary always need to be properly frame and have the best composition in the world. A distorted and picture that was taken by accident can still be a good picture. It just needs to give that feeling and tell the stories at that moment. Don't you agree?

What I am trying to say is that it can be difficult to determine whether you have taken a good picture when you are at that moment. You probably have set your mind to 'see' certain pictures to be accepted in your memory card. It is not until when you have transfer the pictures to your PC that you will notice a blurred foreground picture can be better than a properly compose picture.

Besides, you might miss some details when you are reviewing your pictures on the LCD screen especially when you are on a job that might need you to snap a lot of pictures. The rush in the job might cloud your judgement from creating something special.

So, if you extra storage in your memory card, try to keep the pictures you have taken. :-)

Happy taking pictures,

Michael Wong. :-)
