reuter’s photos of the year
December 21st, 2005 by Lawrence David
reuters has posted their top 40 photos of the year here. i’ve posted one of them above; it’s a filpino man crossing a bunch of tires lit aflame by rioters south of manila, earlier this year. it’s really sick how good some of these photos are – they’re what happens when you’ve got: 1) talent; 2) good equipment; 3) luck.
i’d like to become a good photographer. but, things like exposure time, aperture and focus still refuse to completely tamed. i’ve been practicing a bunch, but i’m starting to run into a familiar trend i noticed while playing tennis. namely, the better you get at something, the more you realize that you’ll never be as good as the pros.
