The Question: from Michael Zagachin on 12/11/2009 11:08:04 AM		Commenting Hi Brenda, Allow me to skip complimenting your images (you know how good they are)and get directly to my question: Since some people think I am good photographer (???) they often ask me to look their photography too and in 99% it is total garbage. I do not want to offend anyone, but do not want to lie either. Everyone ask about the camera I use, but no one ever ask how to improve theit pictures. The question is what do you tell these people in such cases? I bet you are asked much more often than I am. Thanks

Previous Response: from Brenda T. on 12/11/2009 3:10:53 PM		Hi Michael - thanks! It's tricky when people ask you to look at their pictures, but first and foremost, I try to see something positive about them, something that IS working well, and first comment on that. So maybe it's "I really like what you saw here, but to make it stronger you could...." Or "I love the texture that you captured, but the composition could be better if you ...." When people ask what camera I use, I tell them a 'black box with a lens attached' -with a smile, of course - but then I say it truly doesn't matter - it's the person's vision that makes the picture, combined with the techniques used on the tools of cameras and lenses. Hope all this helps you!
