From the Collaboratory

Vincent Versace was in Seattle for a couple of days this week, and – lucky me! – I went to one of his presentations. To cover everything I learned there would turn this from a blog post to a dissertation, so here is one simple idea: If it looks cool, take a picture.

Versace’s point was that we can have a shot composed according to the rule of thirds, with the right light, f-stop and shutter speed, and still have a blah image. It’s your passion, or duende - that WOW factor - that captures people’s emotions.

See what I mean?
