In the past few years, I’ve begun to really watch movies and television shows closely. I do so for a very simple but important reason. It trains me to see the fine details. Movies and television shows that are well done typically get all the fine details to fit together. I can’t begin to count the number of times I have taken a photograph only to discover I missed something in the frame that was a distraction from my main subject. It isn’t quite as bad as finding my thumb in the corner, although when I use an ultrawide lens I often have to pay attention to my feet.
To me, photography has become about the details. The details can, as I have come to believe, can make or break a successful photograph.
