Learn to see your camera settings on your computer. Here are a few things to help you climax your expertise.

The Twelve elements listed below are in accordance to their importance.

1. IMPACT
2. TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE
3. CREATIVITY
4. STYLE
5. COMPOSITION
6. PRESENTATION
7. COLOR BALANCE
8. CENTER OF INTEREST
9. LIGHTING
10. SUBJECT MATTER
11. TECHNIQUE
12. STORY TELLING


Impact is the sense one gets upon viewing an image for the first time. Compelling images evoke laughter, sadness, anger, pride, wonder or another intense emotion. There can be impact in any of these twelve elements.

Technical excellence is the print quality of the image itself as it is presented for viewing. Retouching, manipulation, sharpness, exposure, printing, mounting, and correct color are some items that speak to the qualities of the physical print.

Creativity is the original, fresh, and external expression of the imagination of the maker by using the medium to convey an idea, message or thought.

Style is defined in a number of ways as it applies to a creative image. It might be defined by a specific genre or simply be recognizable as the characteristics of how a specific artist applies light to a subject. It can impact an image in a positive manner when the subject matter and the style are appropriate for each other, or it can have a negative effect when they are at odds.

Composition is important to the design of an image, bringing all of the visual elements together in concert to express the purpose of the image. Proper composition holds the viewer in the image and prompts the viewer to look where the creator intends. Effective composition can be pleasing or disturbing, depending on the intent of the image maker.

Presentation affects an image by giving it a finished look. The mats and borders used, either physical or digital, should support and enhance the image, not distract from it.

Color Balance supplies harmony to an image. An image in which the tones work together, effectively supporting the image, can enhance its emotional appeal. Color balance is not always harmonious and can be used to evoke diverse feelings for effect.

Center of Interest is the point or points on the image where the maker wants the viewer to stop as they view the image. There can be primary and secondary centers of interest. Occasionally there will be no specific center of interest, when the entire scene collectively serves as the center of interest.

Lighting—the use and control of light—refers to how dimension, shape and roundness are defined in an image.
Whether the light applied to an image is man made or natural, proper use of it should enhance an image.

Subject Matter should always be appropriate to the story being told in an image.

Technique is the approach used to create the image. Printing, lighting, posing, capture, presentation media, and more are part of the technique applied to an image.

Story Telling refers to the image’s ability to evoke imagination. One beautiful thing about art is that each viewer might collect his own message or read her own story in an image.

You do not use a filter during the "total eclipse". For 3 minutes it will be dark. Also changing the exposure level will give you several different but good view. David

I don't see where the lens is important. If the lighting is OK, the picture will be OK. Megabytes are large on any camera if you have it set to best quality.

Toss the film camera unless they are "art" attractive. Learn to see you camera settings on your computer. No software needed. All digital cameras and all computers do this. Time, date, ISO, shutter speed, lens, aperture is recorded with every shot you take. Good luck. David Here are a few things to think about.

The total last 3 minutes. You do not need a filter for total. It is safe for all cameras. The partial is bright and just before total is the diamond ring which is spectacular. You need a filter for partial.

Unless you have a million dolar lens, 400 will capture it with a tripod. Take a few bracketted pictures then put it down and enjoy thr moment. No filter is needed for the 3 minute "total eclipse". Bracket is to capture different dispaze of the event.

Great collection. I just got back from a West Coast trip. After you post you can go back and label each picture. I did not know which mountain you posted. David
