Jessica McGovern: Finding Purpose Through Photography and Animals
Send us a text (www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2199280/open_sms)
Jessica McGovern started getting involved with photography at the age of 14 as a way to channel her emotions and find her place in the world. She was drawn to photography because it allowed her to use her hands and her brain, and it provided a physical and mental outlet. Jess started teaching photography organically, answering questions and sharing her knowledge in online communities. She also began teaching in-person workshops and offering one-on-one mentoring.
Jessica has won numerous accolades for her photography, which has helped boost her confidence and establish her credibility in the industry. However, she acknowledges the pressure and potential negative impact of competitions on mental health and advises photographers to seek feedback and take breaks when needed. Jess McGovern shares her personal experiences with miscarriage and her journey in photography. She discusses the challenges she faced, the importance of communication with clients, and the different camera systems for animal photography. She also talks about the Tog Spot community and the benefits of working with dogs and horses.
Takeaways
• Photography can be a powerful emotional outlet and a way to find one's place in the world.
• Teaching photography can happen organically through sharing knowledge and answering questions in online communities.
• Accolades and recognition can boost confidence and establish credibility in the industry.
• Competitions can be both rewarding and challenging, and it's important to prioritize mental health and seek feedback when needed.
• Miscarriage can be a traumatic and isolating experience, and it's important to have support and understanding.
• Effective communication with clients is crucial in photography.
• Working with dogs and horses can be rewarding and challenging, and understanding their behaviour is key to capturing great photos.

    Excellent! I bought a used bride camera with 50x optical zoom for $200. For that price, I take it everywhere and thus get wildlife shots I might not get if I was concerned about rain/mud/dust, etc. The one drawback is fastest shutters speed is only 1/1700 second, 16mb photos, 50X optical about 1200mm focal length, continuous autofocus, burst of 5 high res photos per second, etc.

    Nice video. i got back into photography several years ago from my start in film in the 1970s. Now I have all formats from Bridge to FF. My first digital was APSc, my 2nd is a bridge camera, B700. The 60x zoom is incredible and very versatile. I also have a ZS60 small sensor super zoom, smaller lighter but only 30x zoom.

    thank you for great video I am just pondering to the reason why your video did not highlight what I believe is the undisputed best bridge camera - ok maybe because it not 2023 model ? the Panasonic Lumix FZ 300/330 price wise - not the most low priced but far from the most costly one of thee only bridge cameras that is weather sealed one of the only to have a constant fast aperture (F2.8) throughout entire zoom which helps minimize hiccups in low light since it is a small sensor size although the wise 12mpix means the actual pixels are larger (compared to if it had 13-14 or more m pixels) to ensure better low light photos well I am just soo very happy with my camera :-)

  • @gordon3988
    @gordon3988 Рік тому

    Thanks for this, great overview and appreciated the examples (Both photos and camera’s themselves). Looked at a used Rx10iv and thought it was great, but perhaps a bit too bulky for my use (hiking and backpacking) I suspect…would end up with less use sadly. pan FZ 80/82 surprisingly looked quite good here, though perhaps a bit less IQ that the Sony, as did the Pan 330. Curious what you tend to use most often? For me: trying to get some wildlife photos on my trips, often best early in day so not always the best light and the occasional zoom into a mountain feature far off in distance.
