ZOOM IN /OUT: A life lesson i have learnt from photography

samuelwealth (54)in #life • 7 years ago

Experimenting the ZOOM IN/OUT feature on photographic cameras has thought me a life lesson that i would love to share, especially using the Canon DSLR.

Jim Rohn once said "if you change the way you look at things the things you look at would change". Conceptualising to photography was been a trail blazer for me. Here are my thoughts:

LEARN TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
You know, it is one thing to look and its another to see the details in that which you are looking at(FOCUS).
Knowing what i know now, i would not have made certain shameful mistakes in my life, and am sure you may also have your own story to tell.

It really pays to take a closer view at signal and read the details and act respectively.

Sometimes it very easy to skip a vital process because you did not zoom in into the rules of the appliance you are to work it or maybe a task whatever you were handling at home, school or workplace and the result sometimes can be very heart aching.

After much of such experience i have learnt not to live and do this by assumptions.

As though i am handling the canon DSLR i now ZOOM IN/OUT to see the detail of every and any equipment i would be working with.

NO ASSUMPTIONS

If am using any piece of equipment or even a new mobile smart phone i do not assume anymore.
In our phone for instance if the software is upgraded you know the features might change and so will your mode of operation. You really have to do some mental adjustment to be in sync.

ZOOM OUT A BIT... learn and unlearn.
Be willing to change with the tide of change if you want to remains functional and not taken advantage of especially in this tech-smart age.
I heard this quote from my friend, a colleague @Joy that really dazzled my concept of life, she said @samuel in a conversation we were in " We learn to live and we live to learn" .
I was wowed by that statement and said rhetorically " that means i must be willing to let go certain habits that are limiting and embrace that with inspires and sparks up my spirit"

ZOOM IN ON YOUR ATTITUDE
To zoom means that you are willing to pay focus to details that others may neglect. Invest new gracious virtue to your personality.

Its easy for us to zoom in on this and that and actually forget or ignore to zoom in on that which truly matters, your attitude.
Attitude they say is everything...

REWIND ....Learn to say thank you.

This afternoon i was travelling virtually with @Sweetssssj to the ancient town of Kaleicic - antalya and i met a new friend whose REWIND attitude impregnates me.

I guess he is a big shot in steempower but yet he is still loyal to the one to help him at initial on steemit.
I just came to say thank thank he said (rephrasing @enazwahsdarb)
Now he is giving back to the community in so many ways.
