[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I spoke at a camera club last night. There were about 50 people there. There was a member spotlight section before my presentation with lots of HDR - over the top - photos. It's garish to me and I hope it's a fad that fades soon. Even worse was one guy who showed a photo of a gravestone - tilted horizon, top of angel cut off - and said that it worked and was a wonderful photo because he went up to the gravestone and asked permission to take its photo. Then after he took one photo - he only needed one because he knew it was perfect - he thanked the gravestone and walked away. This was a guy who has been a photographer professor. I just don't get it at all.
