I was walking the Ramparts of old Antibes when I spotted a wedding group. The photographer had selected a beautiful arch to frame the newly wed couple. But he didn't spot me in the background.

 

Leica T with 55-135.

Cheers,

And you were pleased to include yourself in their photograph.  Well done.

Oh believe me, if he was just barely good, he noticed you. And he excluded you from the frame in one of the many possible ways.

 

I often see other photographers judging me while I take pictures. Which makes them into amateurs actually, because the rule #1 is to look into the viewfinder and, only then, judge.

 

That's like when you're driving a car and the person sitting next to you tells you how to drive. But they totally forget that their point of view is absolutely out of the actual context: they are viewing the scene from a TOTALLY irrelevant angle..

I DO believe you.

 

(See what I did there!?)

 

I'm sure you're right. And I am an amateur - right again.

We live in a world over populated by imaging devices and random people.

Professionals know this and strain to work within the constraints.

Those of us who know this should extend the courtesy of avoiding their frame where possible, even extending the courtesy to amateurs who appreciate the courtesy as well.
