Am i being jealous

[Ed Sutton]

I think I understand that, but I can't be sure!!!

It's like when someone else sees something in one of your photos which you hadn't been aware of. At least not consciously. I often make photos quickly, almost without thinking. Letting the eye decide, then rationalising things later. It doesn't always work out, but when it does it can be surprising.

Re selective colour, I'm not sure you're completely right. I think to people who aren't looking at and analysing photos all the time, it adds interest. It, like overcooked HDR, makes people look again because they're not used to seeing it. So the learning for me there would be, how can I do the same without making an ugly or cliche'd photo.

I get where you are coming from. I find it useful to keep looking at photographs which I don't like at first sight.

What a pointless debate.

If you're not getting paid for it, just shoot what interests YOU. The enjoyment should be from the image making process, not how many likes it gets on Facebook.

What a pointless comment.

I've seen the light. I'm going to shoot nothing but cats in boxes, or in other hilarious situations. I think it's genius as it will guarantee a million Facebook likes, and that's what it's all about isn't it.

No, it isn't, and everyone's agreed on that point so far. But for many people, it's not just about whether they like their shots; it's also about how good they are at communicating through them.

BTW, if you do decide to shoot cats in boxes, shoot Schrödinger's cat. That way, you don't even need a cat!
