Pleased with results - PhotoCamel

dc2 · 08-30-2006

I am talking exposure / composing photos/ setting camera up correctly in all manners.
Nothing to do with PS skills what so ever.

dc2,
I know the technical side of these thing, I'm still learning to get a grip to the creative side of exposure, composition etc.

Its a hard one to get around.

Probably the mode I use most and trust most.

Thank you But I am rarely completely satisfied .
[1] I think because we tend to be our own worst critiques
[2] Maybe our expectations change some what over time. :-\

My old man said: it is impossible to be completely satisfied, so give up that idea and go on doing something usefull.
I think he meant taking pictures by that last part of his advise

If he he did he was not wrong in your case.

Rense · 08-30-2006

thanks for that one

Waleed · 08-30-2006

I do my best but always come with an average photo containing parts I wish I did differently, of course I only find out after the customer happily accepts the work.. In the next photo session I pay more attention, but still I find something new I should have done better... And so on..

Rense · 08-30-2006

I found this:

on What the Duck
I think it is quite fitting for our theme in this post (and I don't mean the phrase of Mr. Pickles calling me poop pipe shooter

).

Lol and very appropriate thread

Max@Home · 08-30-2006

dc2, nice poll!

I put in 'extremely happy'

and would like to explain:

I am 'extremely happy' with my skills, but not necessarily pleased with all the results, far from it!

Like Rense, I have the 'technical thing' pretty much worked out, and I am building more on the creative site of my my compositional etc skills.

But, I am 'extremely happy' with my skills, because like Waleed I 'know enough' to see 'what went wrong where, in hindsight',

and I 'know enough' to know what to change/look out for/adapt to try and do it better the next shoot

This process of slow, but constant improvements, little-by-little, is to me one of the satisfying things in my photography passion.

With film, due to the delay in feedback and lack of information (no EXIF, no histogram) this process could be frustratingly slow...

Now, with digital, I found I can learn a ton and more by just studying the 'mis-takes'

*my* €0.02,

Kindest regards!
