My top three are
1. Look before you shoot.  Is there a better angle?
2. Look at what else is in your view frame you don't want
3. Are you sure you looked?  Look again.



Canon body with L glass?    The others won't know the difference.  Most will 
feel sorry for you.   Can't put it in your pocket!

  Subject: [pure-silver] photography teachers top 3


  For those that teach photography, Im just interested in some new techinques.  
For that matter you don't have to teach, just have an opinion.  There are 
several things that I believe are often missed when the subject of photography 
is taught.  Rather than a David Letterman Top Ten list, how about we just keep 
it to the top three.  What are your top 3 that are either missed all together, 
or people you come in contact with just seem to not understand.

  My personal pet peeve is that EVERY student whether they want it or not needs 
some experience with film, both color and black and white.  Don't get me wrong 
digital is a wonderful tool and I use it just like almost everyone else here, 
but I have found film to be a much better teacher.

  I have decided to do something rather unique.  I am going to a CVS 
photography course this Sunday.  Thats right the drugstore is teaching 
photography.  I am just going to keep quiet and see just what happens.  In a 
week or two I am curious as to the look I might get if I walk in with a Canon 
body with L glass on the front.  LOL   

  Also if there are other photographers out there that would like to trade 
links, drop me a not off list.  Im always looking for new resources and links 
to improve my site as well.
