 p.1 #24 · First Impression vs Technical Discussion | |
Hum, interesting discussion, like a meta-view, especially because it is on the people photography forum.
When I post a picture to this forum, it's a way to "test" how the picture works, and to enhance my skills. A bit like hanging the picture on a wall of a gallery.
Imagine to be the artist exposing his creations in a gallery and anonymous listening to the visitor's comments. Comments about "impression" are the most valuable, because his artistic intentions, but comments about technical and/or composition are also interesting to get why it works or not.
And that's the point : the best comments (steady provides a lot of those) are the comments explaining why the composition or technical faults produce an impact on the impression. If I look to my first pictures and to the ones that I try to create now, I have to thank many of the forum contributors, because they helped me, with comments on the technical aspects to improve the way I can express an impression.
By the way, seen from here, in Belgium (small country in Europe, between France and Germany), the opinions from US photographers on my pictures are highly interesting because most of the time, based on a cultural related point of view.
I'm unhappy that my English (my mother language is French) is so bad that I can't explain to other posters why their pictures works / don't works for me but I try sometimes and I hope it helps.
