Are the rules of composition hard and fast, or guidelines?
Today i thought i'd start to get to grips with my new D5100,
read loads of articles about shot composition, which may give a "clean" shot, but to me are cold and lifeless, anyway set up as per the ideal, and i have to say the results were poor.
So much so, i wont even post them on here for criticism.
I'd allready visualised the shot in my head, some orchids/ lillys in the forground, left of frame, leading to some roses on the right of the frame (in thirds i may add) the planning may have been good, but the actual results failed to deliver. Neither the flowers in the foreground, or the background were in focus...
any ideas ?
