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*.

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.

Like you said, the gulls probably wouldn't have waited while the
photographer moved down the beach a mile or so. 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.

Welcome to share your comments!


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.
