Taking a good picture

[Hagrid]

I also studied photography at University, and a photographer I really admire is O Winston Link www.linkmuseum.org. Incidentally I think I've learnt more reading this thread than I did as a student, but thats Fine Art for you!Boyd

Come on Boyd, he was a train spotter!!! OK and a very talented photographer...

Can we mention Ansel while were doing the greats...

this is where the beauty of the DSLRs come into play as what you are looking at through the view finder is through the lens

im currently saving like a ******* for either a nikon or a canon

Mmmmm... Canon EOS 5D - good glass and most of all - full frame -... drool drool drool...

I'm a real fan of Irving Penn - especially the groups and portraits...

Wow. Thank you so much for the advice, loads for me to go through there.

I have a wacking great SD card and another 2 spare so loads of space. My theory so far has been to just click away and just occasionally I get a cracking good photo. I love to take photo's, but as I said I work on the more is better.

So I'll try the thirds rule and we'll see what transpires.

Well, I'm in seeing the nice physio lady on weds, so she'll tell me what a layabout I am and everything will be as it should

Generally, it's as good as it's going to get now for about six months - or rather, I have my 60% or whatever it is and the rest takes 6-months. I'm hoping I'll be able to get back into my weights, chin ups and elliptical cross training videos again soon - doing my bit to stay fit and trim

ALL DONE... Booked you onto next years London Marathon dude... Pull your finger out (But don't bother going to watch 'Run Fat Boy Run' for inspiration, complete Pants!)

Aint that the truth
Most of the pros I've worked with - from studio to editorial - have been happy (with film) when they get three or four good uns out of a roll. A great photograph only happens every so often and can happen to anyone - even me one day!
