#1 Rule in photography?
Their are no rules!!! What ever looks good to you, and your subject is between you and your subject...If anyone else has another opinion on this fire away! May 09 05 07:04 pm Link Hear hear on that.. May 09 05 07:07 pm Link Photographers should be behind the camera. Stop trying to take pictures of the picture taker! Sneaky bastards! You know who you are...with your little camera phones and pocket digital POS's. I have pics of you too! Don't make me use them! May 09 05 07:07 pm Link ? May 09 05 07:10 pm Link Only one Rule!! Remove lenz Cap!!!! May 09 05 07:11 pm Link Well for those of us that still use film the #1 rule is simple: LOAD THE CAMERA ! May 09 05 07:12 pm Link Posted by Brian Kim: Yeah!! May 09 05 07:13 pm Link Always have a camera.. You never know what you'll see out there. May 09 05 07:32 pm Link Amen to that! May 09 05 07:45 pm Link Open your eyes.... and SEE May 09 05 08:50 pm Link #1 rule: make the shot the best you can. Sometimes that means "f/8 and be there" (or, these days, "f/2.8 and be there" [grin]); sometimes it's waiting hours to set up to be ready when the light's Just Right, and sometimes it's spending hours prepping a set. Everything else is mechanics. May 09 05 08:51 pm Link Don't put up other peoples photos as your own. May 09 05 08:52 pm Link Posted by Mike D: my rule is "make who ever hired me happy" thats my only rule. May 09 05 08:55 pm Link Double check your ISO....

May 10 05 11:16 pm Link Posted by vanscottie: Yeah, what he said. lol May 11 05 01:16 am Link Using the Rule of Thirds helps produce nicely balanced easy on the eye pictures. Also, as you have to position things relative to the edges of the frame it helps get rid of ' tiny subject surrounded by vast empty space' syndrome. One last thing about the Rule of Thirds for the time being. Once you have got the hang of the Rule of Thirds you will very quickly want to break it ! Leading back to the no rule theory. May 11 05 01:02 pm Link Who gives a sh*t... Here's a rule: Rule number one,"All rules are made to be broken..." CONTROL FREAKS make up rules... That's my opinion... May 11 05 01:49 pm Link Rules are the perfect food for the trash bin >  May 11 05 01:51 pm Link Posted by Reese, VA . MUA: I agree with you..then there are other control freaks out there....example Rick James May 11 05 02:00 pm Link Posted by Reese, VA .

May 27 05 07:51 am Link Posted by Justin: Posted by Reese: Including that one. Hmm.. yes... including that one... May 27 05 08:11 am Link Actually, I think it's "No killing and eating the model, even if she *REALLY* deserves it." But that could just be me. M May 27 05 08:33 am Link Posted by StMarc: I want to make a joke saying eating is OK if you're dating her, but I won't... May 27 05 08:36 am Link Is there enough meat on a model to eat? May 27 05 08:39 am Link Maybe don't eat her... but you can lick her arm like a lollipop.... May 27 05 08:40 am Link "ModelPop" May 27 05 08:41 am Link |
