- Photographic Composition: Rules Versus Elements - 2014-08-19 16:00:38-04
In the dictionary, some of the words that are used to define rules are: Regulations. Law. What is possible or allowable. Discipline. Control or dominion. Normal or customary. In the dictionary, some of the words that are used to define elements are: The primary or fundamental parts of something. To me, the words used to describe rules are restrictive, limited and will lead to pictures that are ordinary while the words used to [...]
- Some Thoughts On Shutter Speed - 2014-08-20 20:05:55-04
Shutter speed is a part of exposure. You can set your shutter speed to vary the amount of light that falls onto your light sensitive material of choice.

- Are You Ready For The Darkroom? - 2014-08-20 22:20:50-04

The source of light is either an illuminating light source or a reflecting light source. It’s important to pay attention to an illuminating light source because a reflective light source can not be seen without [...]

What do we need to pay to create GOOD photographs and yet cost us nothing out of our pockets?
- Compositional Attitudes - 2014-08-23 16:00:24-04
I’ve been catching some flak about my attitude toward composition. Some photographers believe that you should first learn and follow rules. I’m not one of those photographers, and I’m not alone. There was a reply to Photographic Composition: Rules Versus Elements that prompted me to research what other photographers thought about rules of composition. Here’s one from a name you may recognize. “There [...]
