Using a Painting Guide for Cameras Composition.
 

Following is a link to a site, I sometimes use as a guide on how to judge how dark or light a subject should be and to what level the texture should be brought out in an image.

Good Luck.

An interesting site but a bit much tonight after a glass of Waggle Dance :D Will look at it again.

Bookmarked for later.

My thanks for the replies.

Following are a couple of art reproduction sites that I check every so often when I am not sure just how much detail, texture or brightness I should have in an image.

1. www.abcgallery.com Click on the capital letter - the first letter of the artist's last name and scroll to artist of choice. Next check images for image of choice. Click on image as often as needed to make it a decent size.
2 http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/cgi bin/WebObjects.dll/CollectionPublisher The same procedure applies here as in #1.
3. http://www.essentialvermeer.com/ I may have posted this one before - I love all the information on this one as well as the historical value of it.
4. http://www.colorbay.com/index.htm Some info may be gained through the site links.
5. http://www.geocities.com/%7Ejlhagan/...s/persp1-4.htm This is a good site for beginners and even intermediates - cam people can learn things here as well.

Enjoly!

I must be missing something here because these links go to sites about painting and not photography and that is a different art form.
