John Gordon in British Columbia was a professional photographer and photo judge. I asked him how he ended up picking the winner? One thing he said was, "If the photo didn't hold my attention for more than three seconds, it was dismissed!" The Three Second Rule.

I use this rule when I go through my photos. Into the trash can, if less than stated.

Do have any quotes to share?


"It's not what you look at that matters. It's what you see."
This was not said by a photographer, it was said by Henry David Thoreau... He was referring to art and life. But, it is true for all artists, whether it is for art or photography....This is one of the most profound statements I have ever read.

Happy are those who see beauty in modest spots where others see nothing: Camille Pissarro, a Danish-French painter who died in 1903 in Paris, France.

Amateurs worry about equipment, professionals worry about money, masters worry about light, I just make pictures… ” ~ Vernon Trent

I have seen other versions of this where the Pro worries about time instead of money.

When looking at a photo your eyes will always come back to the lightest or brightest part of the scene.
