And the WINNER IS…

With the help of my son Caleb, one of five folded pieces of paper, containing five different names, was pulled by the 7 year old Thomas kid.

AND THE WINNER IS… THE OTHER JOHN THOMAS.

10. Learn the technical aspects of your equipment, and learn them well. (Most of my photographic troubles can be brought down to this.) Ansell Adams was great not only because of his focus (no pun intended) on a single sort of photo, but also because he taught himself the ways of getting what he wanted from his camera.

As technique improves, it has the added benefit of being less necessary to keep in the front of one’s mind. You can follow what works with less thought, and can deliberately adjust things to make a point of what would, in a different shot, be a mistake. As Marcel Marceau said, we learn the rules so that we may forget them.

John, congratulations on the win. If you could email me your address, I’ll send out your $5 Starbucks gift card.

Now, for the other four who didn’t win… don’t worry. I’ve got another contest coming this weeking.

Thanks everyone for your post. This was fun to do.

peace.
