I appreciate wildlife photography because it takes time and patience to photograph a subject you can't control

It's easy to get into and get good effects, true. It's not easy though to really get good photographs.

Visit /p/ sometime, you will see how much it depends on the proper choice of time of the release and other parameters. Ofc there's also shooting RAW, but then composition is everything and photographers go to great lengths to get good lighting and shots.

Lens change a lot too, not only in perspective distortion but also in things like bokeh.

And there's whole post-processing stage which is done to a fuckton of photographs and pretty extensively like for example in OP.

Idk, I thought first that photography is easy but expensive, though I'm not sure now about the first part. (second either to a degree)

Of course isn't easy, but it's surely easier than drawing. Mastering the technical aspects of photography can be done in weeks of you are talented.

i find it too limiting because you can only take photos of whats around you. but I can paint anything i can imagine

>implying technique is the only thing required to make a good image

Wolfgang Timmins.
(Who i think needs to be seen displayed. His work really relies on how its shown. Often he will show blocks of colour near photographs to complement. )

What's /p/ thoughts on drawing? I find it really appealing but it's so easy compared to photography that I find it difficult to take it serious.

>>2866815
I agree. More of a famous person then an artist.
But I thought he was important.

Bumping for more opinions

That's a photo? It looks like a drawing!
