Agreed but I was referring to when he
used his roll film camera. Cropping in the camera let him not have to print half of his neg.
I 'saved' your pic. It's going on my list to paint. Oh YES you can do it too!
Considering the entire photographic process and his era, he produced amazing (to me) photos.
Oh my. It's a joke and a play on words.
Lighten up.
Weston also used a roll film camera.
I believe it was larger than 6x7.
In his book he referred to depth of field.
That's what I always called it. I know termonology changes. Does anyone remember 'ASA' numbers? 😊
I'm glad to see fellow photographers
sharing constructive advice and not
attacking every opinion. Can you imagine how this would turn out if it was on FB?
I became a professional photographer by reading every article I could find,
asking loads of questions and experimenting. Every pro gave freely.
Since you already hiked miles to reach that spot, shoot different versions and decide which you like best. Ask 100 photographers and you'll probably get 101 different answers. Is one really better? Not necessarily. Just keep having fun!
LOVE IT!!!

Make that 'full frame', not frams. I'm typing in my wife's dark hospital room at 6am.
She is recovering nicely.
If you are selling it, you have to create what the customer desires. If it's for you,
ignore negative comments. Many years ago a friend gave me a coffee table book by Weston. I believe he followed two rules when shooting. He cropped in the camera
and printed full frams. He also like to shoot
around f:22 to get max field of view.
Feel free to correct me if I have my facts
incorrect. ...Joe in NJ
"If I sit here and stare long enough,
maybe she'll remember to feed me!"
Excellent shot. Great idea having him
sit on the owner's lap.
Don, Thank you!
It's always good to hear other opinions,
especially with photography.
