Thanks zeroequalsinfinity for your observations.
I agree. Detail has a fascination in itself but is just one element in the many that might add up to making a compelling image.
My imagemaking was developed through forty years in fine art, and the opportunity with photography to control the process from capture to print, with freedom to manipulate creatively in between was too good to pass up. The elements – light/colour/texture/etc etc and the medium – ink and paper are concerns for both the painter and photographer. But I still ‘eyeball’ my subjects with quite abstract concerns about the image, and in that respect I’m far more of a painter than a photographer.
Cost is an issue, but after the initial layout, photography is an inexpensive endeavour. When printing for clients and customers they pay upfront.Thanks zeroequalsinfinity for your observations.

I use a Canon EOS20 and an EOS550 ( favouring a 60mm Ef-S lens ) and work in full sunlight where posssible. Post op in Photoshop where I adjust levels, and colour, and carefully correct verticals and horizontals ( a particular obsesssion of mine). Printing at 2880 x 1440. Currently looking at HD improvement with bracketed and then merged shots.
