It is all blacked out but that only prevents the clever thieves who know about cameras from seeing it. Low life scumbag snatch thieves will snatch anything n everything.

Taiwan West Gate Ding

Paris through the eyes of a drunk.

actually that is the halloween night at the Curve hahaha go to the bridges seen like a river of bokeh

Too over oof liao.

Back to the topic.. there's one intriguing point mentioned in that thread.

A good pic is one that can the attention of the viewer for 10-15sec. Now THAT'S HARD to achieve!!

In-cle waiting to fly

lol it is up to 1 preference.... same goes to the one called "definition of a good picture".....most people think that by attracting people to see his picture is a good example of a what good picture is..... but a true good picture got something to do with emotion and something deep and art.

Like Steve Mccury's well-known picture that capture my heart..."Afghan Girl" though it seems like 1000000000x other portrait picture but what makes it special is the atmosphere and expression of the picture

have you seen a picture and while you skip it.... it will be in your mind and you kept thinking of what does that feeling gives to you?

I've watched my sifu's personal collection.... and it is hard to describe the feeling of seeing it....but theres alot of things behind those pictures

Ya... emotion, deep and art.. or as we say it in tok kok sessions... got the "feel" ar.

But yet different people have different interest, like for example... the bokeh balls thing. It seems that you feel strongly about that pic but I don't even know what is that... because I'm not you.

Same goes with my pics.. when I show some of my fav pics to my wife.. she's like "WTF is that".

Without being vague... how to methodically explain a "good picture"?




ps: Reading "Photographer's Eye" now. Recommended.

hehe and you are taking picture for people or for you? if it is for client.... then yes I will do according to them... but because of it is for hobby... I rather take picture for me and if people appreciated it like my friends that had seen my pictures, it would be bonus for me.. since that "feel" people can experience it too.

yep different people different perspective or somewhat thinking differently.... that is human... if there is 100 people doing 100 almost the same picture... then where is the originality and individuality?

and also... if people don't like my pictures, I get it because people are different.

There is a saying from a guy I idolized in photography "Love your picture no matter what it is, improve if you think you need to improve, because in the end, those pictures photograph your own unique thoughts"

ops. name them wrongly. should be d other way round.

spam

it is like a first scene of a j-drama wonder when i can capture this kind of scene

yea. tats wat i feel.

sure can... keep snapping n xplore more.

huhu will xplore... it is a good world for photography... if there is no snatchers then again that is why im leaning towards compact when going outdoor alone...
