wrote: Whatcha gonna do with them? Burn them down because they are in your shot? Sigh. I didn't make the rule. And you're not required to follow it. But I'm telling you... those houses don't help the image in any way. Who ever said photography was going to be easy? Possibly a section of beach a mile away might have had no houses -- I don't know. Quite possibly it would have had no gulls! Photography is as much about what's *not* in the picture as what *is*. rafe b. http://www.terrapinphoto.com |

Having lived for years in a coastal fishing town (Gloucester, MA) I can tell you that gulls carry mixed symbolism, particularly to fishermen. They're a very common bird, kinda like pigeons in cities or (nowadays) Canadian geese on golf courses (ahem, Annika..) OTOH, a great blue heron... is a find. rafe b. http://www.terrapinphoto.com |

It is quite challenging to take pictures of dynamic natural settings. Not at all like doing still lifes in a studio. Sometimes it just isn't possible to get the perfectly composed shot. Given a choice, I will take the picture, and hope to be able to correct any glaring deficiencies in the editing process. -- Ron Hunter |

I enjoyed looking at your photos and following your travels. When I was your age I traveled around this continent and the orient, and it's the best education one can get. Get your degree, learn how to learn, travel when you can, and work on the view through he viewfinder (which you are doing). Good work! Jeff Thanks a lot. Actually I still have much to learn, both in photography and in my career. But the procedure of learning gives me a lot of fun. |

Don't let an old geezer like me, or anyone else, spoil the fun of photography for you. When you solicit your images for review, be open to comments and learn from them. Friends and family who oooh and aaah over every piece are not going to help you hone your technique and style. Don't ever take criticism personally... keep it fun. rafe b. http://www.terrapinphoto.com |
