Out of Hand

[Walter]

Every now and again I think I get a little carried away and should get back to basics.

Hopefully this will help...

Great to see all those examples in one place. Thanks for sharing

I'm excited about next month when the rest of the list is revealed. :)

Seriously, my compositions have been way too loose lately. Maybe reading over this stuff will bring my head back around.

Interesting. I read a book by Briot and found it helpful.

Seems like a great tutorial. :thumbup: Straightforward, and you can't argue with the successful shots he is using to demonstrate the composition point he is demonstrating.

I do agree that it's nice to re-visit the "basics" from time to time. I don't get out often enough to do hard-core landscape photography, and I know my results can be hit or miss sometimes. Practice (and study) make perfect!

So here's the final part:

Not bad I suppose. I was a bit more concious of composition last time I went out, but I think I shouldn't have been thinking about it. Regardless, it didn't hurt.

That was a good read and reminder, thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

I'm a fan of Alain Briot's articles, but I'm a bigger fan of Weston. :)

"Now to consult the rules of composition before making a picture is a little like consulting the law of gravitation before going for a walk. Such rules and laws are deduced from the accomplished fact; they are the products of reflection." -Edward Weston
