I am sure that we are all aware of the days when one had to purchase film, take some photo's, and then go to the local photo mart and have their pictures developed. Wait some time, and then pay a sum, only to find out that they only got 1 or 2 really good pictures. Don't get me wrong I still love my Olympus OM2N, but the waiting for the developing kills me.
Digital, versus film, is a argument that I don't think we want to discuss here. I was a skeptic at one time, to think that digital was inferior, and now I guess, that I am a total convert.
- How do you take Excellent Photo's be it film or not?
This question really depends on your Subject matter, and how you set up your photo. Always try and set up your picture prior to taking it. Imagine and look at what you want to see in a picture. They have the rule of thirds when taking pictures, essentially splitting your subject into 3 equal, even areas, foreground (Bottom), mid ground, and background (Top). In other words, frame your picture before you take it. This usually works if your subject happens to be a landscape or a portrait, something that you don't have time constraints for. I have always liked the larger image that was developed by film cameras, called full frame. If you ever noticed, some of the photo's you took with film may not have had all the subject matter in the picture you recieved, especially if you ordered 4x6 pictures. Some of your subject may have been chopped off. If you had requested the 5x7, they would have been published with almost all of your subject matter there.
I am a aspiring photographer. I love to take picures. The more that I take, the more will turn out and bring enjoyment to all. So, my next answer to that question.

Honestly all, the more pictures that you take, the more that you will be happy with. This is probably one of the best pieces of advice I could give you. TAKE THE DARN PHOTO!
Don't worry if it's not perfect. Take another! Change the settings, play with them. Learn your equipment. Buy your children a inexpensive camera and let them play with it!
Until next time, please remember that I hold the copyright to all my photo's and if you would like to use them for a project please ask. This is why I do publish some of them in a smaller size. If you would like to see them in full then contact me. Feel free to comment. All comments, good or bad would be appreciated!
My next Blog will be about, How I caught the Dragon Fly!
If anyone could tell me what the birds are in the pictures above, please leave a message.
