I'm never satisfied with my own compositions. Well, not always. The pictures I share with you are irial's approved in terms of composition. The thing is that, I usually struggle about that when I'm with my camera. Obviously there are days that I'm more or less inspired, or the stuff I'm actually shooting is easier for me to compose. Sometimes I think is because my slight OCD, but I'm very VERY picky with my compositions.
With my analogue camera is okey, I think about it a lot or I just have an incredible impulse of doing the photograph. But with the digital one is very different, basically because I can erase them. There's times where I come back just with 3 photos, just because I'm not satisfied at all with the whole shooting I did. It can be because of more reasons, but usually, it's the composition.
Nowadays I control myself a bit, specially when I visit new places. I try not to erase any of the photos, just in case in the computer are actually better than in the tiny screen of the camera. This photograph is a great example of this problem. At first sight, it looks okay to me. But when I look at it deeply the problems come out. The two dots at the right side or the angles not being perfectly straight. In the other hand, the textures and the lighting are beautiful. Every time I feel I have patience enough, I try to crop it, but never good enough.
This picture was shot with a Nikon D-80, a 50mm lens, f/3,5, 1/50 and probably 100 ISO. It's the back side of the MoMA, New York.
