Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHONIf there's one thing I enjoy, it's going right up close to compose a tight frame. But occasionally there is the need to pull back and just shoot a whole scene, rather than one segment of it. I was drawn to the texture of these hats, but opted for this view of the whole display instead. Yes, I know that less is more, but sometimes more is more as well. I think I've grasped that concept - more or less!
I like that shot.
ReplyDeleteHey Rocky, watch me pull something out of my hat!
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, I wonder what a top-down shot of the same scene might look like.
I love that.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why??
But I love it.
I'm with you, & am not Mies Van der Rohe's biggest fan. More is almost always more. I love the hats.
ReplyDeleteI echo Jo's sentiments.
ReplyDeleteI like the textures of the different hats.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words on my blog today. I hope you have a great day!
Thank you for visiting my blog today. I am intrigued how you stumbling upon me.

I really like this photo. Did you take any other angles because I'm interested in what it might look like with hats filling the entire view screen. I agree that the colors and textures of all the hats together really work! This is a neat picture.
ReplyDeleteI know a few tack shops and Western stores in my area that would gobble that photo up...Nice shot David! You captured the texture and colours of the hats so beautifully...
ReplyDeleteThank God they weren't sellin' jock-straps!
ReplyDeleteBut then again, in THAT case, your quote of "more is more" just might apply to SOME of us! "One size fits all" sure WOULD NOT!!!
Nice shot whether it is more or less I still like it ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, David, about this particular photo. What I cannot figure, though, is how one gets the hat of your dreams off the stack without causing a total tumble.
ReplyDeleteGreat composition. I always have the same dilemma - how much do you include in the shot. I've actually found it interesting to experiment with wide-screen (approx. 16:9) photography by digitally cropping my photos on the computer. As the emu photo I posted recently shows, it can be an effective technique.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
David
Mmm.... which one?
ReplyDeleteI think it's a pretty cool picture!
ReplyDeleteI kinda want to jump in there and re-arrange them a little better based on shade but that is my own issue lol
White hats - good guys
ReplyDeleteBlack hats - bad guys
Brown hats - sad Australian rugby supporters.
A man who loves writing AND photography. I'm definitely going to like it here!!! I've already subscribed to your blog and will be a regular visitor for sure!
ReplyDeleteIf you have a chance, take a peek at my post entitled "Yesterday's Photos" on my blog.
huhmm, for some reason it reminds me of an explosion of a canister of pringles potato chips. . .
ReplyDeletevery cool shot, a lot for the eye to follow and examine.
