- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
Its not like I don't put ANY thought into my photos that I take. I put a lot of thought into them, more than you might believe but I'm just not going to be as good as you or many of the other people on this forum. There will always be someone better.
I do know the basic rules of composition, I may be dumb but I do know some stuff mind you.
Photography is remotely the only thing that people actually told me I was good at..well besides pissing people off.
But I'm fine with being mediocre, I have a mediocre life as it is. It's all good
If you want to be better then there is a clear way to go about it.
Ask for help, ask for specific input.
If you don't care, then no one wants to give input if you don't want it.
Knowing 'the basic rules of composition' and not trying to knit those rules into a greater understanding is a certain formula for staying at a certain level.
Look at really good or even terrific photos.
The 'basic rules of composition' may be part of that photo's success but there is a great deal of understanding and skills and knowledge that doesn't fall under 'basic'.
The photo in my signature is as good a photo as I've taken and the 'Rules of Composition' don't have much to do with it.
But I don't learn the some way as other people. I need to learn the way that works for me best. I've had a hard time learning in school, I had to find alternative ways to learn what was being taught. You know?
I really appreciate your help, seriously..I do. I just feel like an idiot.
