Hi All
I'd like to open a discussion on what 'We' see as and individual when we look at our photo's and think, wow, I did good, but someone else says, 'not that special'
The reason I have started this thread is maybe my own misconception, or want to actually do better but unsure which way to go.
Since taking possession of my 650D I have learnt huge amounts from both reading and this forum. I have also been a keen viewer of peoples posts and what has struck me of late is the huge variation of peoples perceptions and opinions on photos, some of which i myself have thought are not that good considering the comments being overly praising.
I have only my opinion and given my level of knowledge am not best placed to offer a professional opinion but just a vocal description of what my eyes, brain and if you can say it, heart tells me.
I find it fascinating to read peoples comments and think they are wrong, but truthfully, IS ANYONE WRONG?
What maybe one persons masterpiece is another persons standard photo album picture.
I have huge admiration for the many incredible photos on here and only wish that one day I can produce photos of my own composure and imagination to some degree of the same quality but even if I never do I know the ones I choose for my album are the best of the bunch.
A person viewing a picture posted on here has a different view from any other individual because i believe we are all truly unique and what 'We' see is unique to us. We only offer advice and criticism based on our own learnt knowledge and understanding but even still, its the unique character of every individual that allows us to interpret what we see as to whether its good, bad or indifferent.
So, given your uniqueness, your eyesight, your interpretation & what you perceive to be good, bad or indifferent are there bad photos??
Remember, someone thought a row of bricks in a museum was art!
