Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

'The Rules', and how to break them..
-
02-11-2009 11:19pm#1I hate the term 'rules' (prefer 'conventions' meself...) but since there's been a bit of discussion 'round these here parts on rules and why they need to (and should!) be broken, I thought it might be good to show our favourite images where breaking them just works. Lest we get bogged down in golden means and filling the frame...
Mine is this one from 1951 by Irving Penn:
I guess I'm just about to contradict everything I said about Baz's photo and the shirt being the point of focus, but I love how the sleeve dominates in this - the image (as far as I know) is called 'big sleeve'. And it cuts her eyes! Can you imagine if one of us posted this what flack it would get for that!
But to me it's just perfection in fashion photography. The way the big bright shape of the sleeve balances with the round blackness of the hat. It's almost abstract, and one of the reasons I'm finding myself more and more drawn to... <gasp> fashion photography </gasp>
Anyone else?
Edit: I didn't know Penn died last month

Heh. This reminds me a bit of that infamous thread on one of those 'win or lose' flickr groups where someone posted a HCB picture. It was duly lambasted on high for blurriness, grain (someone suggesting that the poster go a bit 'lighter on the grain effect in future'), bad composition, you name it. Then there was a big reveal from the OP. The discussion went downhill from there. It was a wonderful trainwreck of a thread 0

In fairness- i also remember agreeing that a great photo is not *every* photo taken by a great photographer... whether it breaks the rules or not. Just because its a HCB, it doesn't make it art..

I don't have a favourite so to speak, but I do have another example:
It's from a guy on flickr called Brian Schulman:
To state the obvious it's overexposed, centrally composed, but it's still one of my flickr favourites. Very clever photograph0 -
