Technical vs Creativity

[mattlock]

I honestly dont really care for either , as long as I like the final product and am proud of it
whats the point of taking a photo that everybody likes but you yourself hates it? :dunno:
this is assuming of course , that you are not in the photography industry 'cos if you are in and are working for customers , then them liking it matters

yes but analysis of your own work is important too right?
a photographer's gotta be able to understand what makes his pictures strong and why he likes them

 

[catchlights]

Creativity without execution = hot air
Technicality without strong content = wall paper.
Both have their strong points. The right combination of both = Super Ichiban.

sum up nicely......

so easy to understand.

To some, creative = either blur or nude. :bsmilie:

ya, the Bokoleng Bokeh and the Blood Splattering Artwork...

Easy to understand but hard to follow.

correct, I shoot so many photos, easy to make them technically perfect, but can't make each of them extra ordinary. else I will be brain dead.

If you're creative but not technical, you can't carry it out.

If you're technical but not creative...you have nothing good to shoot.

In short, you need both. No such thing as technical vs creativity, photography needs both.

So the ideal is 50% technical and 50% creativity

 

[catchlights]

So the ideal is 50% technical and 50% creativity

no, not truth, you need 100% technical and 100% creativity to create stunning photos.

50 50 is just another half pail of water.

Aiyoh Ah Ben, I fail Mathmetiks also I know that 50 - 50 does not equal half pail. It equals too half pails! :bsmilie:

two are different things lar.
when you only use 50% strength, no matter what, is still not putting all your effort in it what!! :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

Its photography, you can't really split the importance of both technicalities and creativity down to mere numbers. Its almost pointless.

Not really....the "percentage" if you want to put it that way is actually the limiting factor. Your photos can only go as far as whichever has a higher "percentage". If both 50% means your photo only 50%...

So catchlight got my meaning...you need both at 100% to create 100% good photos, if you want to quantitatively anaylsis it.
