Maybe it was the alcohol :D , but I got to thinking what's my weakest part of photography. Too many to list here. But one thing that could help me a LOT would be Photoshop skills. Even though I try to compose and nail my exposure before pressing the camera's shutter, 99% of the time, the outputs need post production tweaking. So for, me Photoshop is Achilles' Heel and one that I'd like to improve in the near future.

What's yours?

Game! Since I'm an ambient light shooter... Most probably it's flash photography... But I'm starting to love it. :)

At the top of my list right now is Digital Asset Management. Need to better organize my files so I can easily find what I'm looking for.

Slumbook answer : Too Many Too Mention.

Pero seriously, flash photography, working in a studio set up, landscapes and still objects.

Studio works for me! Bakit? Di ko pa kasi nasubukan nag-shoot sa loob ng studio eh! Di ko alam control ng mga studio lights... Hehehehe! :)

Sports and fast moving subjects... kasama na ang panning techniques... pati na rin ang controlled and intentional blurring of subjects...

Tried several times, but really can't achieve a well-focussed/sharp subject and correct/pleasant composition and framing. I guess kailangan talaga ng maraming oras para mag-practice.

* I need to be inspired to get a better picture.

Also it's very dissapointing if you dont have the proper equipment for the job in a particular shooting incident.

i'm an opportunistic photographer who can't direct bees to honey even if my life depended on it. having said that, i have great respect for people who can coax a specific result from a shoot, an expression from a model, for example. i think if i can overcome these basic hurdles, that my photography will improve in a really big way.
