Subject: Composing on screen vs. in viewfinder.
What I'm saying is that I think I need the decisive moment to make a good
composition. I also need to be emotionally connected with the motif in
some
way.
But what do I do about this? Practise is one obvious answer. And I will
practise. But, I also have a strong belief in the power and wisdom of this
list. I would really surprise me if it doesn't burp up some good ideas and
advise.
Good photography is good photography.
Period.
Bad photography is fixing it later, whether through large amounts of
darkroom manipulation, or massive amounts of Photoshopping (Sorry Tony, I
know it isn't a verb).
Don't know if this helps or not, and I am sure that some will disagree, but
they are probably adept at salvaging junk via Photoshop.
Strive to do as little post processing as possible, accept that this stuff
is work, and be thankful that with digital, all it costs is your time (the
most precious commodity you have).
