@Photographer Doug does some impressive work with the gear that he's been slowly accumulating (he hasn't posted a Camera Bag thread yet). Though, you would be impressed with his older work and the camera he was using and his newer work with a better camera. The photos that he shares with me privately really inspire me to take my time and see things from different perspectives before taking a photo; his work, after this, almost makes me feel like I take snapshots and he takes photographs.
Here an original photo of a bus I found while driving down a side street, posting it as a Tuesday Treat:
He wanted to know where the photo was taken some time ago, so, I gave him a pin drop; and, nearly 4 months later, he surprised me by getting out there and taking this beauty:
If it's not apparent, he clearly took the photo on an excellent day in Okinawa while I had a lot more overcast. It appears to be at almost the same angle as my shot, but, he put more flora in the frame besides just the bus by possibly stepping back some, making it seem like the bus is more hidden than it appears from my shot.
Obviously, photography is in the eye of the beholder. That said, who did it better? ☺
Just kidding! I love how he frames his shots and his work has made me want to start sitting back longer and seeing more of what's around me before letting the shutter fly.
