There is always something I have never seen when I visit the Esplanade. For that matter, when I revisit a place I have been at a different time, there will always be something new to snap.

thanks. learn something new.
Fred said:Wow! Excellent image by Jimmy and brilliant analysis by Korffr. I've learnt something new today, thanks for sharing guys! Happy shooting
korffr said:Thanks guys,
Jimmy, If you did not notice it when you took the shot or when you post-processed/cropped the picture, it could mean you have an 'eye' for it (or maybe you are just lucky ;p).
Since I am also just learning, I wouldn't mind if someone with more experience had a look at it to see if it makes sense or not.

Shoot with feeling and "eye"
korffr said:Hmmm, I partially agree with you.
Yes you must shoot with feeling and have an 'eye' for things. The thing is
that some people may have a better eye for things than others.
I think that you can train your eye to see things in a certain way. I believe
that a large number of good photo's do have some things in common with
regards to composition.
By analysing these picture, you get to know these guidelines, and you may be
able to shoot better pictures.
I do agree with you in the end it all comes down to feeling and passion for
fotography and your subject.
Anyway if anyone is interested to learn more, there are quite a number of
articles on compostition, the golden mean and other things on the following

Thanks for the good website!
Agree also, besides In-born talent, our "eyes" can be trained and learn through experience.
Btw, do you know when and where the "Rule of third" started and originated from? I am curious. Could it be started from the Artist in the olden day.
I am actually looking forward to see some of outstanding " Out of Rule"
photographs to be posted in CS :think: I think there are.
Photography combines Science with Arts which makes it a little difficult for us coz some photog are good technically with much understanding & grasp of the functions of Camera but lack of Artistic "gene" and vice versa for those that are more artistic.
I tend to think that the science can be learnt.
:bsmilie: :bigeyes: I trying hard on both :bigeyes:
Nice discussion!
