(60,075 posts)the ass, makes it even more Important to the process. I also used a short central stack to limit image aspect. I think the end results reflects the creativity needed to overcome limits. Shooting fixed focal length also spurs creativity.
I think low image aspect is appealing because it is seeing the world through a child's eye. Adults see over the weeds, a child has to find a view through the weeds.
The artistic eye is taking the time to see what you saw. We all have it.

(1,576 posts)we used 4x5 view cameras. I still use a tripod for 95% of my shots. One really has to take time to frame, make exposure calculations, etc.
One of my biggest disappointments was the development of the motor drive for 35 mm. Suddenly hundreds of shots were taken and surely there would be 1 in the group that was a good/great shot. It kinda cut down on the skill factor for a lot of photographers (sports, fashion, etc). Then again, it opened a lot of doors for people and it's always good to be able to have new tools.

(14,894 posts)in the center of your photo totally draw my eye to the very center of the photograph, and then my eye wanders to the surrounding, looking at shadows and depth - how clever and yet so effective.
Your second photo (gasp, yes it's reflections - yeah I LOVE reflection photos), but not only is the reflection astounding, I can see myself meandering down that river in a canoe just enjoying, taking in the breathtaking nature!
Many a time I've observed your photos and wished that I was a little mouse on your shoulder watching, observing, learning from you!

(60,075 posts)The second is a nod to my romantic side and that pains me. Guys aren't supposed to be romantic.
Thanks for the kind words, but much of what I know was learned from others in this group. I have the luxury of retirement that allows me the time to experiment.
