Remember Autumn?

Do you like this story?

It was only a few weeks ago, around Thanksgiving, when winter still seemed a ways away. The wind hadn't yet turned fierce and ripped the last brittle leaves from the trees. It was still possible to step outside under the mid-day sun in shirtsleeves...

Location: Headquarters Plaza, Morristown

 

PS: If this picture isn't so sharp, etc, etc., it's because I didn't have my trusty 40D with me but only my trusty, if not exactly hi-def, iPhone. Still, bless it, it kept me from having to seriously kick myself.

Composition and form.

Many years ago, I overheard a conversation between Ansel Adams and a photography student up in Boston. Ansel Adams was cradling in his hands his trusty M3 without a light meter of course.
The student was touting his fancy all-electronic camera of the minute, saying to the master that he could take a technically perfect picture with his new camera.

The master *Ansel Adams* replied softly that he still could take a better picture with a "box" camera, than the technologically superior camera of the second.

The student sat down and listened to the rest of the commentary.

Your picture, taken with an iPhone is brilliant for its art, not the science behind it. Composition is located in the inner mind, not the lens quality or pixel number.
Cheers! wb
