[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 93232, member: 6548"] Timing is a huge part of it...knowing when to make the snap...the exact right moment...that is one aspect that seperates Henri Cartier Bresson from you and me...he had the timing down. Composition includes your lenses - read ~ focal lengths - the focal length of the lens you are using dictates the most basic approach to composition. Then you can use old axioms and rules like the rule of thirds or composing on the angle to arrange the picture in a sound way. Keep snapping Max. It is like practicing the violin or piano (hahaha) you WILL get more proficient at it...might not become Elton John or Eric Clapton but you probably will learn to express some sort of vision or at the very least have some fun doing it. It is a huge challenge...that is what makes me want to do photography the challenge part of it. Right now I am getting more and more into contrast and how to control it...I just now got focusing down...so you see it is a never ending learning curve unless you are just a natural and even the naturals still learn every day if that makes any sense. :) [/QUOTE]
