Everyone can take a successful photo since the advent of \u201cautomatic\u201d.  But what happens when the novice ventures beyond the point-and-shoot world that we live in today?  A mystery unfolds.  A mystery that becomes less and less mysterious through the introduction of knowledge.  When the novice obtains that knowledge, through study, research, experimentation and experience he or she rises above the mundane.  <a href=\"http:\/\/artworksaroundtown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Picture_029_small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/artworksaroundtown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Picture_029_small-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Wheeling, WV\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-761\" srcset=\"http:\/\/artworksaroundtown.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Picture_029_small-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/artworksaroundtown.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Picture_029_small.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The ordinary becomes extraordinary.  The novice becomes an artist, able to control the camera to create the image that the mind sees.  Having the ability to create what you envision and not be bound by the limitations of what the camera chooses to set for an exposure frees the artist to interpret a mood.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/artworksaroundtown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Picture_004b_small1-205x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Barn\/Windmill\" width=\"205\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-771\" srcset=\"http:\/\/artworksaroundtown.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Picture_004b_small1-205x300.jpg 205w, http:\/\/artworksaroundtown.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Picture_004b_small1.jpg 439w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" \/>  When snapshots are elevated to images of art, the novice is no longer a hobbyist, but rather an artist.
