I came to the realization why I enjoy just flipping through the monthly blog.
Nikongear has been, as far back as I remember, the stopping place for photographers who are mature and respectful of the art of photography.
It appeals to me for the same reason. NikonGear is about photography and only photography. No drama, just mature and respectful enjoyment. Not to mention considerable talent! (Myself excluded
)
There are rarely newbies to photography who haven't yet accumulated enough skills to actually make a fair to good image and who mistake their lack of knowledge and experience for breaking new ground.
Fair enough. However I would hope that an inexperienced photographer would not be deterred from coming to learn. Everyone here has been most courteous and helpful whenever I have had questions about technique or art. One can also learn much from the photographs posted and the discussions thereon.
As for me, This is one of the styles of street photography I like a lot. All that is connoted by the phrase aides memoire.
Yes! I have come to realise that this is the style of photograph that I enjoy most. It was David Hobby who termed it "capturing slices of life." My preference for the 35mm angle of view (on full frame) follows naturally.
Thank you for sharing the photographs!
