I think the question belabors the point since the tool of the craftsman does not do the crafting.I apologize for the already long off-topic, but do you think Ansel Adams´s images would be so fantastic if he didn´t use it?
Like I said before, I have been doing this for one year and a half, not 40. Haven´t attended any courses either, but have read a lot and "seen" a great deal of images (from the masters to the most unknown amateur). Art, in every form it takes (painting, music, Wood work, cooking, etc...) is subjective. It is not logic. You either "feel" it (read like it), or you don´t. For example, I like Kandinsky and most people I know, don´t (to be honest, I don´t think most people know his work)... The same goes for Dali, although his images have always been more "mainstream". The same subjectiveness applies to photography. What works (visually and aesthetically) for one person, may not work for anoher, so I guess all this shouting about the rule of thirds (which was the first, the others are only derivatives) is just that, shouting. It´s not about the horizon being 2 thirds up or down. It´s about the use of negative space. Landscape or portrait...View attachment 63264 This was just to try my new 24-58...
Exactly!And actually, thats what have helped me most in my photography, learning to clear out all the un-important stuff in the frame.
From memory I brought out the shadows a little and adjusted the clarity.I think yours is better, but it looks to happy and summer'ish lol. I'll try shooting it again, the place is only a few kilometers from home.
What did you do?
