Way outside my expertise but I've copied the link for my youngest who's studying both history and photography of A level. He's hugely resistant to anything offered by parents but I don't see how he could fail to be interested in this photos (being irreverent doesn't the modern, coloured version look like David Tennant!)julia joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09773900100240758504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-68474921261430089342013-11-06T17:28:45.958+00:002013-11-06T17:28:45.958+00:00Hubby has a posh camera - he gets magazines and ta...Hubby has a posh camera - he gets magazines and talks about lenses and "rules of thirds". I can't be doing with all that. I have a little digital Kodak and it's small and simple but does all the hard work, so I just play with composition.Debbie Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06761474820689143835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-27923828556638405232013-11-06T13:23:39.000+00:002013-11-06T13:23:39.000+00:00It's true the process of taking pictures is mu...It's true the process of taking pictures is much easier and cheaper now, just as publishing books is easier and cheaper... but no amount of technology will ever replace the artistic eye/talent/soul.

I don't have a visual brain at all.<br /><br />I once read an amusing article in which a magazine editor pointed out that a picture isn't worth a thousand words. It's worth two thousand.
