look carefully at popular images of others. study what makes them effective images. you'll see that they likely follow one or more, if not all of these tips.

he is contstantly trying to turn garbage into prints...
most every time i read his article i wonder if he knows how to use his camera. i imagine he is quite a quality photographer, and that he is stuck in a roll of producing an article for the magazine. but he just plan bugs me.

that and silly special effects.

i'd like to practice with a 1D mark II - if you'd care to learn to use the limitations of a 300d - maybe we could trade for a bit ;}

Wouldn't say no, just tht we are on opposite oceans.

Plus, I already have a 300d. Good camera, but not for sports.

just in case all yall thought they were my own fabrication and had some sort of epiphany at that moment. i have to apologize.

i actually learned it here, more specifically the learning thread posted by bear_music.

unsure ifn he will sue me for that or not. i hope this public apology to him will suffice.

thanx

You might be able to convince me to eschew legal action by depositing $50 in my paypal account and promising never to sin again :-)

lol. um i sent it. sometimes it takes them a few days to process the info though. ifn you havent recieved it in like 2 weeks you can start the complaint process though paypal. lol

create tension/curiosty to force the viewer to think about your image. let the viewer create their own story behind the image. what is he looking at? what is he thinking about?

One of the best tips for a unique composition, I think.

70-200 f2.8L and 1.4x tele, 17-40 f4L, second 550ex, new tripod/head, and bag. rather than a 30d

While all good tips are great remember that each image has its own inherent requirement for it to sing. The many rules such as rules of thirds have their use but they can not govern every image. Some images benefit and fit the symetrical design. To go all asymetrical is like shooting everything with the rule of thirds and to shoot all close up will prove just as bad. The image must have a quality that the photographer wishes to convey.

I have seen images that could benefit with a close up but sacrificed to the rules of thirds if only to follow the rules. Formulas will get you a decent image here and there but it is your vision that should dominate.

Remember once you learn the rules keep in mind that rules are broken to suit the inner vision of the image maker. Learn the tricks but always visualize your image and never sacrifice it to a formula.
