As you get better at photography, you learn more and more things. This has the negative effect that there are fewer and fewer new things to learn since you already know most of them. I was pleasantly surprised to find this video by Alex Kilbee where he shares some of the lesser known photographic phenomena.
If I could enjoy a little personal experience, I’ve never really been on a group photowalk. I always thought that if I was shooting something and there were dozens of other photographers shooting the same thing, there really wasn’t much room to be different. So I was surprised, when Kilbee mentioned that this is a real thing* called Law Seminar, I was surprised. Color I am shocked when you have a group of photographers in a certain space, they have this innate tendency to gather together in tight groups, like a school of fish or a flock of migratory birds. My suspicions were correct! So thank the past self, for having enough crit not to enter a conversation – all the lone wolves here.
Kilbee goes on to talk about a few other phenomena, and each is more emotional and painful than the last. Who would have thought these things even existed. Definitely not me! I’m curious to know which ones you already know or avoid? Or, shock and horror, covered? I’d love to know in the comments below!
* This is not a real thing. None of these are real things. Check out this video and this post with a dash of salt and humour.
