Message from Steve Coats
Hi,
Thanks for stopping by and looking at my photographs. I must live in the flattest part of the world, The Cambridgeshire Fens! The sky is great and have lovely sunrises and sunsets BUT the land is so flat!
I use mainly digital now but still use film when I have time.I Use a Nikon D200 with 18-70mm, 70-300mm, 10-20 Wide angle and a 105mm Macro lenses.
I have a massive collection of Nikon F cameras. F2,F3,F4,F5. Nikon runs deep!
I hope you enjoy looking at my images and feel free to comment (Good or Bad)
Cheers
Steve
Found this on the internet and I found it a valuable tip:
"Bad (or lackluster) photos are caused from laziness. Unfortunately, too many photographers, amateurs to professionals, will approach a photo assignment with a pre-conceived notion of attack - mostly from 'history of style' and wanting to play it safe. Rarely, will the photographer step back, put down the camera and size up the assignment before proceeding. Instead, many of us will execute the photo from the angle we initially approached the subject, never thinking to study the subject and its environment first.
"Look at it like this," he continued. "The subject you wish to photograph is the nucleus of an atom. You, the photographer, are the electron spinning around the subject until you find just the right angle and distance. Not until then will you have successfully evaluated every aspect of that subject and its possibilities." He added, "Just the slightest move to the right or left, up or down has the potential to make or break the photo. Don't be in such a hurry to finish and leave."
