Dennis Posted May 29, 2021 Share #84 Posted May 29, 2021 Not sure what you are saying. But I can share with you a quote I love: Luck, is when preparation meets opportunity... We all need luck.

When stopping down, easier to nail focus, but more difficult to arrange elements in context, w/ a proper composition. My inspiration, Alex Webb Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Anyone name 5 tricks by Alex Webb? Accent color. Framing. There are 4 colors in the photo. Vignette. Lines. Direction of view. He specifically violated the rule for all portraits - there should be more space in front. He did this in order to show the story in the background. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully understand why lenses, cameras, and other photographic gear can inspire some people to take photos. I am just not one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

capo di tutti capi Posted May 29, 2021 Share #90 Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) 13 minutes ago, Steven said: How can you come on an Internet forum and tell a respected member that you don’t know that his photography is corny and amateur. First of all they were not. But even if they were, you should not say it out loud. Give constructive criticism in private. Don’t try to embarrass people In public. This destroys the collective energy. In any case, it says a lot about what kind of person you are. Or at least how you feel. Pitiful. And its not like you’re Steve McCurry or Alex Webb either, to judge people’s photography. Pfff. I like to watch a lot of photos lose their value. With these conversations, you can throw billions of junk photos out of your life. Edited May 29, 2021 by capo di tutti capi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question. what is the auto color button and what does it do ? Except for auto coloring the photo. Yeah, its a button in Photoshop and I assume Lightroom that helps corrects colour cast for photographers who don't know what they are looking at.

astrostl Posted May 30, 2021 Share #100 Posted May 30, 2021 To the OP's question, for me it tends to be a latest acquisition 😅 The shine still hasn't worn off of the VM 35/1.4 II MC I recently grabbed. Fairly obsessed with sub-200g lenses in general lately. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
