Great sengir 2004-07-29 20:03

I'm really impressed with the perfection of Your crops - it's hard to imagine that this picture could have been taken differently

Dear Antoni,

Thank you for the time you have spent with my photographs. When we know how much "time" is that abstract enemy that runs away fast from us every day, and considering the fact that there are so many good photographers posting their photographs here in TE, I'm pretty much touched by the fact you have looked into my previous photographs.

To confirm your observation, several of my architecture photographs, including this one, were cropped. That is due mainly to two reasons:

1.) As you've noticed I'm far from having a high standard material. My Powershot is a good camera but it is nothing compared to a digital SLR, and good architecture photographs really usually require good equipment. What happens on the field is that sometimes I see something, the camera won't follow, and I then have to recompose it or adjust it through pp.

2.)All my photographs were hand taken, without tripod, and looking up to the buildings. That causes perspective distorsion and obliges me to adjust it through some cropping in order to achieve the image I had originally in mind.

3.) My days are quite busy, and I don't have time available that I would have wanted, to spend with photography. That means that frequently I do it fast, and try then to work it out on my computer when I have some free minutes.

I think that nowdays we are getting far from what photography meant some years ago, not by the fact that we work our compositions after the shot was taken (the photographer used to do that also in the dark chamber), but because our computers allow us to completely denaturate our original view and transform it in a infinite range of views.

Thank you for your critiques
