Theres usually at least few left over shots for everyone that gets into the Gallery.This is a great place for those shots
The only truth to any photograph is how the observer feels about it, and that Truth only pertains to that observer.
All photographs are only 2 dimensional representations of reality. If one wants reality, go outside and look up.
Before Digital Photography Photographs were still manipulated for many reasons. To Achieve balance, textures, flow of direction, are but a few reasons to manipulate a photograph then as well as today. Remember the word, ” Photograph” means…Light Graph..a graph, illustration, made with Light, not paint, nor pencil, charcoal or ink, but with light. Its still a Graph. To Turn A Graph Into a ” Print”, worthy of hanging on the wall in home or museum,requires work, or processing.
Personal taste establishes how much ” shop” is acceptable. As mentioned huge moon on ocean horizon can be offsetting as a huge Mars right outside the bedroom window. Over saturated photos are usually only cool to a select few, but even there, what feeling a picture brings the observer to, is the goal. For some over saturation acts like ” interference.” in whatever is being communicated. If ” Shopping” Interferes with communication rather than facilitates communication, then the Shopping FAILS.. So thats my answer To Shop Or Not To Shop..If Shopping Interferes, Diverts, Scrambles The Communication,,then change, adjust, redirect the Shopping.
All photographs , digital or analogue are subjective. You are taking a 3 dimensional observation and turning it into a 2 dimensional representation. The key is..knowing what you are communicating with that Light Graph and know how much and how little you need to facilitate or interfere in that communication….imho.
The lean into the winds keeps the balance of the pic , nice shot Keelin. It is all what our minds do with photos.
I take Pictures of Clouds Therefore I Am..
Nice delicate capture Hans! Distance between near and far seems to curve as distance increase.. We don’t travel straight to the moon do we? ;)
A little fun with texture and contrast
