No sales, what I'm doing is wrong

Some of these people only barely know which way to point the camera.  Subtleties such as depth of field escape them.

 

 

So true. I remember when I went from a point and shoot to a SLR. My husband knew what the settings did. I asked to use his camera (film) and asked him what the settings meant so I could take the shots I wanted, the effects I desired.  Which were portraits of our daughter lying on a large nearly black horizontal tree limb among gorgeous bright yellow autumn leaves. The light was spectacular.
I still remember his teachings about depth of field, invaluable information. Also shutter speed, in relation to pointing the camera at anything that moved. I had a desire to know how to do it right before ever taking a photograph.
All these years later, what he told me stuck.
