No one take offense, It is just that my father did this for a living, it paid our rent and put food on the table. When Photography is your love and work. When your family depends on your skills, I guess your outlook on the subject is different. My father tried to teach me to. Look at the subject, really see it. Look in front and behind, look at ether side. See everything you want in the shot and everything you do not. After you framed the subject, block it out of your minds eye. Study the shadows only. Do the hide or do they reveal? Are the dark and impenetrable. Think of how you can manipulate the shadows to your advantage. Then only then, once you have taken all of these things into account. Set your camera and take the shot. And in about 5 to 10 years it will do it without thinking. You wil be able to see something or someone stop and in one shot capture a picture that you can be proud of. You won't have to think "I hope it came out" If that is bad advice, then I guess I've been misinformed. P.S. This is me, I got the car for Christmas and My father took me out to try it. Thos days he rarely went any where without a camera. I was peddaling along when he turned and said stop. Now lean out like I do when I am parking the car. I did and the result is this photo.
