The photo I took yesterday for my 365 project was okay (to my amateur eye), but I started cropping it and then I loved it. It is a photo of my dog, and like kids, I'm doing good to get the shots before he darts away. <br /><br />I just told someone today that I thought the 3 important things in taking photos (again, my amateur opinion) is light, the lens you use, and cropping!Tammy Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237118807074011008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31250476.post-55784913792814076822011-01-06T20:15:15.240-08:002011-01-06T20:15:15.240-08:00Thank you for saying that!

I try hard to get it right in camera, but am totally not afraid to crop and do other corrections if I need to. I guess I cut myself some slack since I'm still learning so much and now shooting off auto almost 100% :)C McCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08249679502505542887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31250476.post-80613634790316597392011-01-06T17:00:33.607-08:002011-01-06T17:00:33.607-08:00I'm faithful in checking the surroundings of m...I'm faithful in checking the surroundings of my subject, but you nailed it Katrina when you said children are hard to photograph. I can't count how many shots I made with my grandkids just trying to get JUST the one. Always something in the frame I didn't want there! You do a great job with your photography and you're honest in sharing your expertise. I appreciate you so much!!Cheryl McCainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13510693763782794096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31250476.post-53354342255091102252011-01-06T15:10:40.914-08:002011-01-06T15:10:40.914-08:00Oh yes - I often have lots of creative crops going...Oh yes - I often have lots of creative crops going on and don't feel bad about it one bit! :)Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04658102789235279484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31250476.post-66242045860777898052011-01-06T14:17:30.525-08:002011-01-06T14:17:30.525-08:00It's wonderful to get it right in camera, but ...It's wonderful to get it right in camera, but unless you're a professional or long time serious hobbyist, photographs just don't come out that perfectly. That's one of the benefits of digital photography - not just that you have instant photos and no need to buy film, but that the average person can easily edit them! I have six different graphics editing programs that I use for editing my photos. Why six? Well, they all do different things well. For example, I've only found one (Paint Shop Pro) that lets me choose the eye color when correcting red-eye. To me, it's all artful, creative, and about getting the image you want.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043507221579607749noreply@blogger.com
