Comments on: Music for the march http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2010/03/25/music-for-the-march/ A regularly-updated blog of a photographer in Dublin, Ireland Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:38:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Josef Moffett http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/2010/03/25/music-for-the-march/comment-page-1/#comment-267 Josef Moffett Tue, 06 Apr 2010 19:35:16 +0000 http://www.ronanpalliser.ie/blog/?p=3016#comment-267 I really appreciated your comment about the less-is-more when taking a photo. Of course, we tend to immediately think "less clutter" but sometimes that clutter is not in the image, but in our heads. Of course, getting to drop the mental clutter takes a lot of practice. You need to know all the technicalities, the knowledge of what you have to do - and indeed can do - to create/capture an intuitive image. It's perhaps like really experienced musicians. They don't have to think about the moves they need to produce that particular note. The fingers/lips/muscles all "automagically" just do it.
