Many people consider photography an art, and it probably is, to some extent, but that doesn’t mean that we are born with the talent of taking photos. It’s a bit more than that because it’s an art that requires work and knowledge.
We need to know how to set up a camera, how to properly focus a photo, and many other things. Only by mastering these pieces of information will we be able to obtain the best results.
Photography is about continuous learning because things are evolving, cameras are evolving, and, fortunately, they tend to make things easier for the photographer.
