Simon says as he’s holding the camera to his eye. After a while I checked the digital camera to see how Simon had been doing. Although I thought his settings were mostly correct minus a few blurry shots due to him forgetting his glasses at home. But the common problem I found with his photos were the composition, or how the visual arrangements were set up. I found photos with a random arm on the side or the bottom of someone's head, uninteresting angles and just plain weird pictures. So this got me thinking about how people seems to think that just because you own a phone or a camera they’re automatically a photographer.

Many don’t understand the challenges that photographers have to face every time they pick up a camera. You need to have good timing and understanding for how a camera and its settings work. Although these are things you can learn, there’s one thing you can’t learn on your own, and that’s having an eye for the perfect shot.
