Juliet Bull: Shooting the Single Picture

I really enjoyed the reading this week. The article kept my attention because of the way it was set up in conversation. I also thought the reading had a lot of meaningful insights to talk about, and explain. They talked about how there is really only two important aspects in taking pictures, "where to stand and when to release the shutter." They then explained and broke down exactly what they meant and explained how important it is to be in the right place at the right time to get a great photograph. This article was interesting because it was relatable. A lot of examples they gave throughout the reading were relatable in my own experiences with taking pictures. I think that a lot of people can relate to "luck" when taking pictures and being in the right place at the right time and having everything work out, not because you are an incredible photographer but because you clicked the shutter at exactly the right time. I also related to when they talked about contact sheets, and that on a contact sheet there is usually only a few photo worth printing and the rest are not that great. There are only a few good pictures on an entire roll of film. Overall, I really liked this reading and I got a lot out of what they had to say.
