Flick and Click

On Sunday, I was made to sit through an excruciating photo viewing session by one of wifey's friends who had just returned from holidaying in Barcelona and Madrid. All blardy 2 hours of it and boy it was such a pain.

Very lovely cities but most of the photos sucked big time. There was hardly any composition to speak of, the framing was abit iffy, the angles boring and the light just too harsh in most of the shots. And the fella was using a DSLR to boot. Tsk! what a pity. After the 200th shot of yet another 'interesting' cathedral, plus the incessant drone of his running commentary, my mind started to wonder about supper.

I mean I'm no expert in photography myself but I do know a good photo when I see one. Somehow, it just speaks to you. Your eyes will linger at the right places and there is a sense of balance and interesting-ness about the image. You should be able to tell from a good shot why the photographer took it in the first place.

Well here are some of my current favs from this great photo-webby called flickr. Wish I could take shots like that...
