Everyone's a Photographer

[Donald]

I've written before of the fact that I'm not really a people photographer, but that I had a small project going on in my head whilst I was in Yosemite last year that I called 'People and the Park.'

This young man climbed up onto a wall that I was sitting on. He obviously wanted a little more height for his shot. I immediately saw it as a great shot for me. I had the Panasonic Lumix DMC LX100 ready to go and grabbed this.

Your c & c is always welcome.

Nicely caught although I might argue with your title. Just about everyone uses a camera these days but that doesn't make you a photographer. (oh, what a mean mood I'm in)

Nicely done, photographers or to not anger John2; people with cameras make for great subjects.

Nice capture. I love shooting people while they are shooting other people. I have a whole series from Shanghai of people with cameras...

Hey Donald, nice shot! Not only is it clear, it is also devoid of unusual background. I like it.

I've viewed this image several times and only just now finally realized why it doesn't invoke a desirable emotional response in me: The composition is so dramatic, yet the use of mostly mid-tones lacks the drama I would expect or desire, especially considering how nicely the subject and opening in the cloud complement each other. In other words, the two styles of post-processing and composition don't complement each other to my way of thinking.
