[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 226292, member: 9240"] Glad to find another person who somehow manages to secure perfectly crooked horizons as they focus on the foreground. I am truly horrible at composing [I]fully[/I] in the viewfinder. I get very myopic and lose track of the supporting cast behind the subject ... but I'm getting better, and that's what this is all about, right? :) I'd say that 95% of my shots are a matter of rescuing something, with about 40% qualifying as clutching something from the jaws of death. It's not so much pray and spray as poor, or more succinctly "lazy", execution of a good idea, and it's something I need to work on. So I've been doing a lot more shooting in my head rather than with the camera lately, trying to fully realize the shot first rather than finding something with the viewfinder to my eye. In other words, right now I'm a better photographer with my fingers and a mouse than I am with a camera and a shutter release, and I'm working on evening the playing field. I like the edit, btw. Works well. [/QUOTE]
