A Photography Struggle

You know, photography is a journey filled with ups and downs, twists and turns, and loads of learning opportunities.  I'll be the first to admit, I've had my fair share of struggles along the way. From mastering the art of snapping the perfect shot to navigating the complexities of running a photography business, there's always something new to tackle.

One challenge that's been particularly tricky for me is figuring out when and how to use flash in my photos. Flash photography can feel like a whole different world, right? I've read countless articles, watched tutorials, and tried to wrap my head around it all, but it still feels like a bit of a mystery to me.

One big hurdle I've faced is relying on the built-in flash that came with my camera. Let's face it, that thing can be pretty limiting. It's like trying to paint a masterpiece with a crayon! The light ends up harsh and unforgiving, often leaving my photos looking washed out or overly bright.

But hey, I'm determined to up my flash game. I've got my sights set on investing in a new flash for my camera next year. With a bit of practice and some willing family members as test subjects, I'm confident I'll get the hang of it in no time.

So here's to embracing the challenges, learning from the struggles, and never giving up on the journey to becoming the best photographer I can be.

Who's with me?
