Thanks Kenneth for your explanation. I may sound amateurish, but I'm the one who just sees a shot and takes it. I hate having to do a lot afterwards, be it in a darkroom or in a digital room. That's why I took to slides a certain period, they just gave me what I saw. Looking back I can all my mistakes all too clearly as well. What I certainly do not like about photgraphy is the amount of technique I need to get a picture rigt. I feel the technique is more a burden than a blessing. As a choir conductor I do not sense any limits like this. As a pianist I did however. My arms and fingers didn't want to do what I did. The piano was in my way, as are a lot of photographical technical aspects. The absurd limits of a film for instance. I hope that digital solves this all in due course.
This sounds more negative than it really is, but as I'm picking up my photography now I do encounter the very same things that made me stop twcie before. So, I'm not a natural photographer I guess. :-) Paul Delcour > From: "Kenneth Waller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 18:00:44 -0400 > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: OT: Pentax Image in Outdoor Photographer > Resent-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Resent-Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 18:00:47 -0400 > > Paul, this image was submitted digitally to Outdoor Photographer.
