Yes, bott...Thanks Joann and Moi for your comments. Yes, bottles are easier. In fact, anything that stands still and waits for me is easier. However, the challenge of people is well worth the effort. The key point of my post is that it requires learning to use my camera very differently.<BR/><BR/>Henri Cartier Besson is not only a wonderful photographer but a wonderful writer. Coincidentally, an essay of his was my last night's bedtime reading. <BR/><BR/>The instructor at the workshop suggested I crop off some of this image on the right. Instead, I have cropped about 15% of the top to get to what you see. I'm still reflecting on his comment. It is, perhaps, that he is urging me toward a less obvious composition. I take his comments quite seriously as his own photos are so wonderful and his crits throughout the workshop were so amazingly perceptive. Still, in the end I have only my own judgements to rely on.<BR/><BR/>Finally, I would have responded to your comments sooner, but am dealing with hard drive recovery. I may have lost 80% of the images I shot on the trip. More on that in my next post.Emery Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764300703571229622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6189942683079884296.post-26762024230844987162007-07-11T04:59:00.000-05:002007-07-11T04:59:00.000-05:00wow, look at the expression on her face, U capture...wow, look at the expression on her face, U captured it so beautifully......human expressions are most enchanting, and i wish i had the courage to shoot them more often than i do ....<BR/><BR/>was reading about French photographer Henri Cartier Besson and his "decisive moments" the other day: i have to admit it, i did not know about him till i read the piece : and this pic seems to be one that will fit into that category.....<BR/><BR/>Really liked this composition... and i shall try and lay my hands upon Photoshop.
