Sebastian Budderhor's photostream

I am the patriarch of the extensive Budderhor clan.

May I ask what everyone is talking about when the say "nice capture"? Most of the images I admire on flickr ™ are not "captured". Individuals are making images. The term "capture" implies the photographer caught something - almost by accident or chance. I doubt the truly fine images are just captured by the indiscriminate firing of a camera button. A great image involves forethought into composition, exposure, choice of focal length and aperture... hardly an accident. I do not intend offense to those using the term "capture", but we used to call it "making pictures" as opposed to "taking pictures".
