The word "photograph" was coined in 1839 by Sir John Herschel and means “drawing with light”. A photograph can be taken using a camera, and is an image created by light projected on a light-sensitive surface. The process of taking a good photograph requires appropriate equipment, creativity, and good luck.
Photographs are images created by light projection on light-sensitive surface, and that is the reason why having the proper equipment is important. A good camera has nice lenses which will provide the photographer with the focus need for each picture. The right camera also allow for the exactly entrance of light in the proper time speed which will make the photograph more clear and real.
Another important thing to take good photograph is creativity. Photography is a type of art and expression; therefore, the person taking the photograph needs to create the picture mentally and give a perspective to it. A photograph is a representation of the photographer’s vision and it must be meaningful and provide a personal interpretation of the scene that is being captured.
In addition to appropriate equipment and creativity, good luck is also needed in order to get good photos. Having the right camera and creativity will not make a good photograph unless it’s accompanied by a great deal of good luck. Even though some may argue that there is no such thing as luck, the right photograph can only be taken when random events with small probabilities of success occurs at the same time. Such casual coincidences make up for unique moments that can be immortalized in a perfect photograph.
To sum up, taking a good photograph is a very simple task if one has (1) the appropriate equipment, (2) creativity, and (3) good luck. If the photographer comes up with these three requirements he or she will be literally drawing with light throughout one of the most beautiful inventions of mankind, the photograph.
