I think this deserves a separate answer. It's something I battle with every day. My black and white landscapes are definitely a cop out, and whilst lots of people say oooh, and, indeed, aaah, it's hard to resist, but it leaves a slightly soiled feeling somewhere. On the other hand, I'm not pleased with my own photography, so, if someone else likes it . . .Jono,
One of the problems with digital photography though, is that we sometimes tend to look for the spectacular rather than improving the way we take photos. That's just the nature of the beast, I suppose, the human beast that is
Oh, I quite agree - I'm not doctrinaire about this, only complaining about handing over the responsibility for one's photographs to a piece of software . I'm right up for 'using' the software I and revert to my original feeling, which is that if it's 'interesting' then nobody cares about the technicalities, and if it isn't, then nobody cares at all.I ask myself: would I have liked this one if it was a painting? Sometimes I would, and sometimes, it's important to remember that photography can be many different kinds of art, just like oil paintings and watercolours are different kind of paintings.
Hey Kuau... thanks for posting.Red Rock Crossing in Sedona AZ, 5 exposures I hope it doesn't look to HDR, still have some work to do on it. A900 CZ 16=35mm F10
Converted in DxO then merged in PhotoMatix. I know HDR poo poo. I looked at all 5exposures of this image and I can't get just one to look right.
Taste is more individual than we can imagine sometimes. I had lunch with three very young and very pretty girls today, and the only photos that are good enough for their taste are photos of themselves, preferably taken with a camera phone. So much for all our discussions about lenses, aperture and pixels :ROTFL: :ROTFL: :ROTFL:Personally, I shot you linked to is horrible - but then, I'm just a grumpy old man :cussing: :lecture: :angry: :ROTFL:
It has been the trend here in Thailand for young girls to be both the photographer and the model in the same time, with the latest mobile phone cameras. Who needs a photographer when you can do it by yourself? I hope this trend doesn't expand to other areas :ROTFL:Taste is more individual than we can imagine sometimes.

Other areas? Are there other areas You mean, except for handing out moneys in generous quantities? I must be missing out on something here... I wonder whatI hope this trend doesn't expand to other areas :ROTFL:
That never crossed my mind, Jorgen. But now that you mentioned itOther areas? Are there other areas You mean, except for handing out moneys in generous quantities? I must be missing out on something here... I wonder what
Thanks Edward!Albert, your group shots are simply amazing. Every person seems to have the perfect expression, and no eye blinking. Every time I tried that, I always had at least 2-3 persons blinking no matter how I tried.
