[QUOTE="theregsy, post: 17602, member: 4398"] I can make no more excuses about my imagery now, apart from needing better glass LOL. I have a camera that was THE Pro camera to have a couple of years ago, until the D3 came along mine was the dogs whatsits! So I can't say "well I am using a Fuji S2, its very old you know!" Now anything I produce good or bad is down to me, my vision, my settings, my shot. They are getting better, sometimes inspiration fails me and I fall back to the Standard type shots, but every now and again THAT shot appears, from a change of angle, closer zoom or breaking the rules (got a good one the other day by chopping the top of a head off, beacuse it changed the point of interest in the image to the guitar that was being played) Each and every one of us can create something that only we saw, only we thought of and shot. Sometimes it works, sometimes its awful but its all experience, and for those of us (like me) who aren't that intuitive when it comes to shooting its all about the learning from experience. We all know that the photo is generated by the camera but we create that shot, that image is purely ours. I have bad days, day that I come back with maybe 2 or 3 shots that I look at and think, they're OK other times I have a brainwave I'm in "the zone" and nearly everything works (few and far between) but if it was easy it wouldn't be challenging, if it was't challenging it wouldn't be interesting. So we all persevere, we all look at the work of others and think "I wish I could do that" well the bad news is, you can't because you are you. You see things differently, I will tell you straight, others will have looked at your albums and said "I wish I could do that" even you imnuky because we are all hyper critical of our own work. We all think that we aren't as good as we could be without remembering that everyone else is thinking the same. We all think, "there is so much to learn" "I wish I had more time to take photos" I think thats probably true of everyone on here, even those employed to take photos. I will stop rambling now, don't know where all that came from. Keep your chins up people, everyone is in a similar boat, all paddling frantically to catch up with a percieved ideal that in truth no one has. Keep shooting, keep trying, keep learning but most of all keep enjoying it. Mark [/QUOTE]
