    Photography is a creative passion that includes capturing moments, feelings, and stories through the lens of a camera. It permits people to express their special viewpoints and showcase the excellence of the world around them. Photography has the power to make the world a better place. One way photography makes the world a better place is by preserving memories and history. Photos capture significant moments in time, archiving occasions, individuals, and places that will otherwise be overlooked. They serve as visual records that allow future generations to learn from the past, understand diverse societies, and appreciate the progress made over time. Photos can also play a significant part in preserving cultural heritage. They archive conventions, ceremonies, and traditions that may be at risk of vanishing. By capturing these perspectives of culture, photography helps raise mindfulness and promote conservation endeavors. Photography can raise awareness about important social issues and inspire change. Through powerful images, photographers can highlight injustices, inequalities, and environmental concerns. These photographs have the potential to evoke emotions, provoke discussions, and motivate individuals to take action. For example, photojournalism plays a significant role in exposing human rights abuses and shedding light on conflicts around the world. By capturing compelling images of war-torn regions or marginalized communities, photographers can bring attention to these issues and encourage support for humanitarian causes. Additionally, nature photography can inspire environmental conservation. By showcasing the beauty of our planet’s ecosystems and highlighting the threats they face, photographers can motivate people to protect and preserve natural habitats. Engaging in photography as a creative passion can have positive effects on individuals’ well-being. It provides an outlet for self-expression and allows people to explore their creativity. Through photography, individuals can share their unique perspectives with others, fostering a sense of connection and understanding. Photography also encourages people to slow down, observe their surroundings, and appreciate the small details that often go unnoticed. This practice of mindfulness can enhance individuals’ overall well-being and help them develop a deeper appreciation for the world around them. Photography has the control to promote sympathy and understanding by capturing diverse perspectives and experiences. Through visual narrating, photographers can bridge holes between different societies, communities, and people. By displaying the similarities and shared feelings that exist over humankind, photography can break down barriers and cultivate a sense of solidarity. Photos can also challenge stereotypes and misinterpretations by displaying alternative narratives. They can humanize marginalized groups and shed light on their special stories, battles, and triumphs. This will lead to increased compassion and a more inclusive society. If I had an extra 24 hours in a day I could improve my techniques, explore new techniques, and create more impactful images. One of the valuable ways I talked about how to spend an extra 24 hours days is by learning new techniques and practicing them. You can explore various genres, such as landscape, portrait, wildlife, or macro photography, and dive deeper into aspects like lighting, composition, and post-processing. Another way to spend the extra 24 hours would be editing and organizing them. An extra 24 hours can be spent sorting through your photo library, backing up your files, and editing your favorite shots using photo editing software. The time when I feel the most creative is during the golden hour, which occurs during the first and last hour of sunlight. The golden hour provides me with light that is softer and warmer, creating a beautiful glow, and longer and more dramatic shadows, and the sky and surroundings are often more vibrant because of the golden hour.
