Thanks for the roundabout encouragement--I know all too well how right you are about throwing shots away.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637515175082381246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17320859.post-47813046318872127672009-09-03T23:09:33.515-07:002009-09-03T23:09:33.515-07:00Compliment appreciated, but it comes down to takin...Compliment appreciated, but it comes down to taking a lot of time, and throwing away a lot of shots.<br /><br />I did everything wrong with that shot <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/xwl/3862904993/meta/" rel="nofollow">(here's the meta data)</a>.<br /><br />Should have shot it from closer with my 50mm lens at a lower f-stop, but it came out well anyway.<br /><br />Good shots are a mix of intention, and happy accidents, I think.<br /><br />I've taken plenty of mediocre and bad shots, they just don't make it to my flickr page, and the shots I pick for 'your daily photo' tend to be the cream of that crop.<br /><br />So, for every one picture you see here, there are maybe 100-200 snaps of total crap shots that look pretty awful.<br /><br />So, no lessons to be found here, other than to learn from your mistakes, make them often, and try and make as many different kinds of mistakes as possible.XWLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13646729965929680256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17320859.post-2879466534094116242009-09-03T22:10:31.752-07:002009-09-03T22:10:31.752-07:00Seriously, can I just come and take a few photogra...Seriously, can I just come and take a few photography lessons from you? Or is there some secret knack of the D5000 that a humble D40 could never achieve?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637515175082381246noreply@blogger.com
