Kimera,

first your  aviator picture is beatifically in both subject and composition

second I do think I came across as u tried too.

 

in a nutshell I’m trying to say that you should be open minded and if you don’t care for someone’s work understand Why you don’t like it .

try to learn from everyone and use technique as a core talent. Don’t lean on technology understand the basics and then after that

 

blow the doors off and create to your hearts delight. I’m not sure if that clears things up or not bit I just see people in here saying too mu h information cramps my style and that shouldn’t be the case. You should be able to explain why you are doing the things you do.

I’m a chef not a photographer  and I see both points of view here , I know excellent Chefs who break all the traditional rules and use inferior equipment and put out outstanding fare. But they understand the rules they are breaking and I know people who call themselves chefs who have great equipment sad put out a mediocre product. You can be self educated , school educated but you need to be educated and be able to understand why you are doing what you are doing. There is no luck in photography and like in cooking you are  just following a recipe / taking a picture you are not creating a piece of art you are just duplicating. So I think photographer and Chef denote an artist and someone who cooks or takes pictures a craftsmen. For a once in a lifetime event I think I’ll go with the professional.
