A photographer is a story teller. Nowadays with a smartphone in our hands, all of us have become photographers. The #SelfieRage is a phenomena which has gripped the young and old alike. But what has photography got to do with this?
I have a few friends who have bought themselves a DSLR camera. Striding along confidently with the camera hanging around their necks, it becomes a necessity to click pictures. But they seldom understand the settings and eventually auto tune it to click images. Ask a seasoned photographer, it’s just sad!
Couldn’t agree more with this.

What sets apart a professional photographer from an amateur one. The ability to capture the most unlikely moments, at the most unexpected places.
So don’t just hang that camera around, learn the workings of a digital camera and surprise yourself by capturing moments that matter. Probably, check out this free online course on digital photography curated by none other than the Harvard.
Understanding a digital camera might seem a tad bit technical and uninteresting. But imagine the powerful tool in your hand combined with your aesthetic sense, might land you a Pulitzer. If not that, it will surely leave you contented as an artist.
