Interview with member CPT from Hungary:
” I have found ViewBug by chance, following a link.
There are several pages on the net offering photo hosting, to sell and to print online, most of them complicated to register.
Very colorful and my eyes just playing yoyos when trying to fill the complicated profile, set up my page within.
So I tought okay another one – but to my surprise I’ve found an user friendly setup and design, simple but full scale possibilities even for a foreigner (and not so good english speaking ones) like me.
Another very good experience the people here – friendly and open minded – one hour after uploading my stuff I have already received kind comments, email – belive me, it’s a human touch for me, like a big family.
So yet I am on only since a day or two, but I hope that this is a beginning of a beautiful friendship with ViewBug and the people “living” here, exposing themselves trough their captures.
- Inspiration is a question how you see things outside – and how this vision will be translated inside your mind and heart by your
emotions, feelings and thoughts. Basically I think (well, for me) one capture is made twice at the same time: first by the mechanism of your camera, and similarly by your mind at that special moment of shot. As like this, I allways think that it does not matter what
type of gear you use, it can be a simple compact machine, a film or digital hi-tech stuff – the main thing how you see it and the way you compose the shot finaly.
I believe that a classic, or to better say a real artful, individual picture is always more than a photograph, and even if it contains technical errors, still it can be art and premium work. If it is a honest, true capture and the story is inside, generates emotions in you when
watching: you’ve got it.
- It is the hardest, yet so easy to give tips: in one sentence well – always listen to your heart and practice a lot.)
It is not enough just to see the moment outside – you have to feel it inside. That special instant. And if you listen to that voice, and practice how to listen and shoot parallelly: it will bring the reward soon. It will be a basic instinct by time, you will not have to think
if I should make the shot or not. Thinking takes time. Milliseconds, but it’s lot. You will be late.
Feel it. With your heart and then that instinct you have learn to set free by practice.
You know, Star Wars – if you are good to listen and obey those inside voices, soon you can be the “Jedi of photography”.
Thank you once more, and have good lights, regards: Gabor Dvornik (Cpt)”
