Gee guys, when I grow up I hope I’m just like you. I need to go to my safe space now. Give me a break dude I don’t post very often. I am so sorry. I put it in the wrong section and I hope I did not disrupt your day.
It's no big deal. Like I said, it happens all the time. I just wanted to make sure you knew the requirements for the section you posted in.

Top of the scroll says Photo Gallery.
It was originally posted in Photo Analysis. Admin must have moved it to the correct section. Happens all the time.

I stand by this observation from study and practice: "Overall, effective image composition remains integral to a worthy photograph."
Effective composition is certainly important. I think the negative responses are to the use of the word "precepts", which is an even stronger word than "rules". Some photographers have a natural ability to compose photographs without using rules or precepts, which can become cliches.

Since this is Photo Analysis, you are supposed to ask something specific about the photos you wish to have analyzed.

It would be really great for concerts or any event where you need high ISO's for those low light situations. 
That makes no sense. Take away a lot of light for low light situations? Even with high ISOs you would get very long exposures, which won't work for concerts or events.

Aha! Ansel Adams said he made the photographs. I think make and manufacture have the same meaning right?
I assumed that Retired CPO meant by "manufactured" some kind of composite or items added to or removed from the original.

This is true. But where is the line between "improving" and "manufacturing"? There must be one somewhere.
No need for a line. Photos have also been "manufactured" since the beginnings of photography. It didn't start with digital.

One "can" be. But when one "needs" to be the graphics bubba, one has not done one's job as the photographer.
Improving the image that comes out of the camera has been an important part of photography since it was invented.

I know but that is how it is. Although the court didn't deny that the monkey was the photographer they denied his right to the image. I guess it's like Paul said, the monkey took the picture but he couldn't take picture out of the camera and he didn't own the camera.
It wasn't a matter of whether the monkey could take the picture out of the camera or owned the camera, it was a matter of whether animals (other than humans) can own a copyright.

Is composition more important than exposure? Without a good exposure composition will not help.
Just saying.
Just saying.
But it can be easier to fix an incorrect exposure than it is to fix a bad composition.

I don't know about that. A couple of years ago there was a huge kerfuffle about a monkey that grabbed a camera and took a selfie. It looked like a pretty good portrait to me. Whether or not the monkey or the camera owner was the photographer and therefore owned the rights to the image ended up in court. I never did hear how that one ended...
It wasn't a question of whether the monkey was the photographer. A case could be made that he was. it is a question off whether the monkey owned the copyright to the photo, and it was ruled he didn't.

I looked up the definition of precept and got "a rule or direction dictating a way you should act or behave." That is not at all the way I approach composition.

I haven't used Bay Photo for a long time, perhaps they've improved but I will never use them again. Too many errors, bubbles in the surface, cutting off signature. They were always quick to replace but I do drop shipping and I don't want a customer to get a piece with an issue.
Why drag up this 2017 thread, and you don't even have an update to how good they are now.
