Gordon, you've got some great advice, thanks for sharing it.
Aww shucks. Glad you liked it. I promise, it's worth precisely what you've paid for it.
Unfortunately some of the images you've commented on are no longer visible.
Indeed...hence Mike's advice earlier, I suspect.
From your descriptions, Juice has a real eye for the artistic (something I lack, but I'm trying to develope it
).
It's all, imo at least, quite subjective. I suppose there are those out there who will say that "art" can be somehow "defined"...but I sure as heck won't.
For me, it gets back to something I've said a few times...if the picture tells me a story, or makes me wonder what must have happened next (or before!)...then it's done its job. Does that make it "artistic"? heck if I know. *lol*
In the very first post of this thread, one of my favorite shots, is the helicopter being held by it's rotorhead. I feel the composition is spot on.
And that's why I love this hobby (photography, I mean)...that picture does pretty much squat for me.
Again....I don't think that makes it a poor picture. Indeed, it is well composed and shot as far as all the "rules" go. It just doesn't "speak" to me.
Of course, it's at LEAST 50/50 that I'm simply not listening. *heh*
Are you by chance going to Joe Nall next month?
I'm not. My airplaney travel budget for the year is tied up with a trip to Detroit for RBAR in June. *heh*
