Precepts
For years now, I have described my endeavors in the field of photography this way: "I do photography for its own sake, and to fulfill myself."

My work therein speaks for itself: http://www.500px.com/anotherview2

Incidentally, I began referring to myself as a photographer only after ten years of struggling with the craft of photography. My outlook derives from this effort.

Humongous AMEN. Did you review his work ? Much of it really does succeed in displaying applications of his "precepts". And yet, it all fails to establish him as "a photographer". Acoarst theres no sooprise in that.

I think anotherview threw this out just to stir the pot.


I stand by this observation from study and practice: "Overall, effective image composition remains integral to a worthy photograph."

Recall also that AA said he visualized the photograph before he pressed the shutter button. His approach no doubt involved sizing up the scene with an overlay of a composition within a frame. So, for discussion, we may say AA produced his photographs.

Aha! Ansel Adams said he made the photographs. I think make and manufacture have the same meaning right?

Begin with a guiding premise. Wordless, photography functions as a visual medium of human expression. It may rise to art in the right hands. The techniques of this artform will serve this outcome. Overall, effective image composition remains integral to a worthy photograph.

As experienced photographers have noted, the advent of digital photography has shortened the time for learning photography due to the instant feedback it offers to the photographer.

I referred to the observation of Minor White for the student of photography to take heart, to keep at it.

Mastery involves striving and dedication over time with an object in mind, no matter the field.

As a visual artform, photography includes its own measures for producing a worthy photograph, one measure being image composition.

One help in this endeavor tells the student of photography that he or she has neared competence -- seeing photographs everywhere.

My advice here from experience: Continually take photographs. Learn from one's mistakes and succusses.

Sober reply. Start here: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/discover/photo-composition.html

As well, bear in mind that the photographer Minor White once said that learning photography takes ten years.

Canon vs Nikon
Rent to try the mirrorless camera. Your experience will then guide you to an answer.

From the sales hype, I've gathered that the mirrorless cameras incorporate more features and functions.

Yet, so far, I've not seen a definitive report saying that mirrorless cameras produce a significantly better image quality then a DSLR.

The hyperbole pushing the mirrorless camera reminds me of a similar pitch for the introduction of video capability in a DSLR, as if it presented a breakthrough in image-making. Etc.

Resource or Steps to produce a quality professional photo.
A worthy photograph begins with an effective composition.

I have a goal to become a professional photographer. My niche is wildlife photography and specific events. I have access to Lightroom and one other post production software to manipulate raw files.

My issue, having selected pictures that appear pretty good on a monitor to display as a professional print to a 6 x 9 or 8.5 x 11 photo page. I have HP Officejet Pro 9010 which many of you know will print a 8.5 x 11 photo page.

Is there a specific setting in Lightroom and/or HP Officejet setting I may be overlooking to get a good glossy pic to be hung in an office?

Thank you for your prompt responses and look forward to hearing your comments.

Storm over Oxfordshire (U.K.)
Stormy sky over a pastoral scene hard to beat for visual attraction. Well done. The natural forces, as here, compel the eye. Thanks for sharing.

Looking (and snapping) at a storm over Oxfordshire yesterday.
Car was parked in a long passing space when a bloke in an E Mustang passed by, giving me a 'You some sort of a nutter' look. Then, when he saw what I saw, parked in the middle of the road and snapped his own.

This was taken on Britwell Hill, a named hill on the Chilterns escarpment. A low range of hills perhaps 120m / 400' above ground level of the Oxford Plain. And it just seems to hold back the worst of the storms.

Views from Australia
Your photos offer their own flavor along with an inherent eye appeal -- probably, in part, from unpolluted natural light. They look fresh. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, just looking around the new format and thought I would post a few from our recent travels. Still wish to catch up with old friends I used to speak to, if they are still here of course. Enjoy. Love the photos I have seen so far.

Very stylish automotive design beauty. This sense seems gone in our time, to our loss. Thank goodness this example survives from yesteryear.
