Some of my best shots come from doing the opposite
of what I've learned over the years.
Digital photography makes it easy to try every combination of settings you can think of and all it costs you is your time. Eric J

I completely agree with you Eric, and with your quote. I usually find out about the "rules" of photography after I've broken them :) McMommy · 2011-05-03: 22:51

Nice Quote,Excellent shots!! mallusatish · 2011-05-03: 23:10

Fantastic post Eric, the shots are great as always, the quotes are perfect ilikethat · 2011-05-03: 23:31

Very nice results for your experimentation!! agandia · 2011-05-03: 23:43

wonderful and I love the idea of 'no rules' - but I wish I actually knew what they were so I could flout them - in my case it is sheer ignorance of what I am 'supposed' to do…..although I have figured out (belatedly) that a telephoto lense isn't the best choice for a macro shot…….. poshrat · 2011-05-03: 23:54

Nice! I think "learn the rules, then learn when to break them" is another good photography philosophy. DancingDolphin · 2011-05-04: 00:49
