Mayer M Flaks Has Career in Photography

Cameras are not as simple as commercials make them out to be. Perfect pictures are not always the result of point and click. Many professional photographers chose different settings, shutter speeds, lenses, and resolutions when taking pictures. Depending on lighting, location, and proximity, the settings and devices used with the camera may need to be changed.

Recently, Mayer M Flaks learned that he can change the resolution on his camera in order to save room on his memory card for more pictures. Mayer M Flaks read that close pictures do not require high resolution the same way pictures from a distance do. However, Mayer M Flaks continues to take many of his photographs in high resolution because he likes to take the photographs and enlarge them to decorate his home, and to sell as a professional photographer.

To master a skill, time and practice are generally required. Mayer M Flaks believes mastering the fine art of photography is not any different. No matter how many times he reads the manual, reads tips online, or gets advice from other photographers, Mayer M Flaks believes there is no substitute for doing it yourself. Mayer M Flaks often finds himself venturing outside in order to practice picture taking.

Mayer M Flaks has a preference for natural landscapes and wildlife photography. Being surrounded by the city all the time, photographs of untouched nature seem like a separate reality. But, Mayer M Flaks also takes pictures of his city's skyline too. While nature is beautiful, a city skyline against a painted and colorful pink or purple sky is just as beautiful. Mayer M Flaks tries to keep an open mind about the subject matter he photographs. He doesn't want to tie himself down to just one genre of material. Mayer M Flaks appreciates the beauty of wide landscapes but also wants to be able to take close shots too. He is a professional photographer living in Portland, Oregon.
