Anna, in a followup to my last post. When composing, try & see the image as if you were looking at the final print. While doing so experiment with different shifts, rule of 3rds, different angles, compressive focal lengths, depths of field, etc. Sounds like alot, but the more you shoot the easier it becomes. Just because you think your composition looks good doesn't mean you'll be satisfied with the final image. So by all means, before you press that magic button, experiment. You might be surprised at what you see. I remember years ago (we used something called film) on high fashion shoots we would let the motors fly, always shooting at different angles. Sports shooters call it "spray & pray". And editors love it when they have a wide variety of trans. to choose from. In today's world, digital doesn't cost anything so shoot as much as you can and delete what you don't like. One final thought, KNOW YOUR CAMERA! You shouldn't have to remove your eye from the camera except to perhaps look for a different vantage point. You need to know your common controls by feel or by information in the viewfinder. This will allow you to concentrate on your image, not your camera. Good Luck and shoot, shoot, shoot.
In regards to "A Day At The Park". Photography is an artistic medium. As such, I compose for dramatic affect. It distracts from the boring everyday photo. Some are keepers and some are just experimental. Everything else is just a snapshot. We all take them from time to time, but they don't get published and therefore don't pay the bills. So, that's why we (working photographers) do what we do. Hope this answers your question.
