One can draw a lot of analogies between the two.
- No one is really an expert in either.
- If at all there is a real expert, you will never have access to him/her.
- You begin to think you have learnt and experienced a respectable lot and then you face something entirely new that will make you either quit or go back to the learning mode, again and again.
- You are on a never-ending search for a better tool that can make you an expert and that “better tool” is always a phantom.
A camera works on the basic principle of light that is let in through the lens onto the sensor to capture a photograph. Life works on the basic principle of the “light” you are willing to let in through your sense organs onto the brain to experience an occurrence. What the brain makes out of that experience makes up the “photograph” imprinted on our lives.
The aperture of a camera combined with the shutter speed is what dictates the amount of light that is let in and hence the quality of the photograph. In our case, the aperture – the receptiveness, combined with the shutter speed – the speed at which we can adapt to a challenge, is what dictates the amount of knowledge that is let in and hence the quality of life. No wonder great people remained eager learners all their lives.
There are many world renowned photographers – renowned only because of their brilliance in technical skills and the subjects they choose to photograph. That’s all you need to take a good photograph - the right technical skills and the proper use of those skills to capture the right picture.
