Rules of photography
Rules are really just suggestions, and they are always optional.
knowing when to use them or break them will come with experience.

C'mon HotWired, drop the 'tude, dude. In my case, Arby was right. Instead of just shooting what I saw, I could have gone a bit further up or down the pier, adjusted the zoom, waited for the people to get out of my way, all of which would have been good options. I don't think it was bad advice at all.

I hope you can make nice with Arby, because we can all learn from each other, regardless of our skill level. Being argumentative and belittling another member is pretty much the opposite of what I want this forum to stand for.

You hit the nail right on the head with that one!

You guys are right. My bad.

I would advise trying using a filter to change the effect.
