thumbs up Hard work

Karin,

The hard work is in learning the photographic process. Much repetitive experimentation and trial and error is the key to mastery.

However, once you understand lighting, light to shadow ratios and the relationship between exposure and development, the actual taking of the photos is quite easy. Since photograpy is a strictly mechanical process, the key is consistency, the results are repeatable and the act of photographing anything is actually a no brainer.
