> > Bob Talbot - Allium > Another flower image. Fait point, a bit like a reviewer saying "another image where someone id b*gg*ring around with PS filters ..." >God made that image we only copy... Mmmm ... what exactly is meant from that / can be learned from that? Meant, I can only guess. Maybe the suggestion that it's just another straight record of something seen while wandering around the world? No creativeness, just craft and a camera? I'm intrigued though in two respects: what it tells me about the reviewer and what is says about the world? Every image I take is indeed "something god made". That is, it looks good through the viewfinder (during depth of field preview) so I take a record of it. Sure, the allium shot in this week's gallery is not visible to the naked eye, only to a camera (you cannot focus that close and/or get that wide an aperture with the unaided eye) but still it's a record of god's world. All I can do as a photographer is choose which bit's of God's world to record, and how to present them ;o) About the reviewer? Well, I guess he doesn't like flower shots ;o) Bob PS: I took a couple of shots blind last week of Venus. I didn't actually look through the viewfinder for obvious reasons. All I did was focus and point the camera (and choose exposure, shutter speed, film and aperture ... oh, and lens).
