Your little corner of the world is absolutely lousy with photo-fodder -- cliche or otherwise. It's really easy to fall into the trap of there's nothing interesting here to photograph just because you're so used to everything that it just doesn't seem special. I suspect that just about anybody in the PDML could visit another member's home town, and find weeks worth of things to photograph. Except for your neighborhood. There's nothing interesting to photograph there. You might as well invest in a macro lens and start doing a macro study of the hair in the armpits of drunks. Hardly a day goes by when I don't think about the time I spent there, and what I would've done differently if I'd known then what I know now. I took a lot of photos while I was there, but I can't get past the feeling that, from a technical standpoint at least, I really squandered the opportunity. You had fun, you got some good pictures, and you've got a better idea of what to do the next time you head out. You also have more incentive to come out to the left coast again.

Both are said to be unincorporated communities. That is kind of like a ghost town that never did exist. Or, they are simply something someone wrote on the map, like Here be dragons.

Serious suggestion, Larry (to follow). When you first started showing here I suggested off list that you edit your photos. You commented about it on list and everyone essentially jumped all over me (although you did not name me, thank you for that.) Take a class, with a critical teacher, like an advanced photography class. From live feedback from students AND teacher you should be able to get enough feedback to get a better feeling for what are your best/better photos. What compositional elements make up your better photos. You don't have to agree with all their assessments, but you will still get a feeling.

Re: PESO, I've got some time to kill, I'll head to the beach
I agree with you Marnie, but classes aren't my thing. My approach: - study -- *carefully* -- a ton of other photographers work, especially published masters, and anything in genres I'm particularly interested in. - look at other artist's work too. From the Old Masters to Picasso etc. These folks know/knew composition. And light, of course. - read (just about) every online tutorial on composition you can find. I have a standing order at my local used book store to hold every book on photography that comes through so I can have a look. I've got a steadily growing library of inspirational photography and art, and art and drawing theory. And a really critical thing that follows after select/edit: DO NOT SHOW ANYTHING ONLINE OR OFF BUT YOUR VERY BEST WORK. Just doing that alone fools people into thinking you're a good photographer. :-) On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 1:32 PM, eactiv...@aol.com wrote: Serious suggestion, Larry (to follow).

Re: PESO, I've got some time to kill, I'll head to the beach
Very Best is a moving standard, Marnie. Strictly speaking that just means that as you get better you should cull your older work that no longer makes the grade. So by definition you'll always have *something* to show. But your public gallery should keep on improving. On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 6:48 PM, eactiv...@aol.com wrote: However, that I can't agree with.

Re: PESO, I've got some time to kill, I'll head to the beach
I think 207 and 151 are worthy shots, but you need to edit the set yourself. Landscapes don't change. Photographing them once again isn't necessarily wrong or cliched, particularly when the photographer brings his own vision to bear on the scene.

Re: PESO, I've got some time to kill, I'll head to the beach
I don't see what makes one better than the others The 2 Paul called out, and I agree with him, are images in which there is no question in what you want the viewer to look at, the subject is isolated, simplified and defined. In some of the others, you've included other things that are distracting, IMO, and are calling for my eyes to pay attention to them.

I don't have a past such as his though... And present is also different... Normally I much rather keep my head un-kicked as it is the head I am using the most for work and other such stuff :-).

Your little corner of the world is absolutely lousy with photo-fodder -- cliche or otherwise. Hardly a day goes by when I don't think about the time I spent there, and what I would've done differently if I'd known then what I know now. I took a lot of photos while I was there, but I can't get past the feeling that, from a technical standpoint at least, I really squandered the opportunity. -- Walt -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
