A Nice Photograph

[Sutton Warrior]

Currently running an angling photo competition and have had quite a lot of pictures sent but one I found was quite different from the rest so I thought I would post a copy here for you to see it. Its of a north east angler fishing at Filey Brigg. I think you'll agree its a top shot.

 

 

In my humble opinion, it breaks the rules and gets away with it very nicely, rules are made to be broken sometimes. Just did a quick fiddle in PS, looses all its impact if 3rds are applied.

I wish I knew what you were all on about. Isn't it just a matter of point camera and press go ?

Usually yes, but there are purists out there who will tell you different.

Hi Glenn, nice photograph. Can i enter the comp?

I don't know if this illustrates the rule of thirds - i.e. a third of sea, a third of subject (angler) and a third of sky?

 

 

I would have preferred to have been a bit further away and get more sky in the shot, but I was stood right on the edge of the ledge at the time - one step back and it was an early bath for me

 

Cheers

PS

Photobucket playing silly b*****s - picture should be along later

Couldn't you have used the flash to lighten it?

Superb definition in the waves, Steve!

 

Nice photo ................

 

here's an example of breaking most of the rules about 'composition' and 'techy' stuff.

 

Still, the judges and viewers still made it SKY Tightlines 'Photo of the Year' in 2005/6.

(There's hope for us 'point and shooters'!

I'm sure the flash fired Norm, but I was more concerned with not being swept off the ledge to be honest

 

Your photo ceratainly has that smile factor Ada.
