What's your photography unbreakable rule?

3 years 7 months ago #694565 by Sanford
I think it's safe to say we all have pet peeves or better classified as unbreakable rules in photography.  That when broken or not found can destroy a photo for you.  Crooked horizons, blown out parts or over saturating?

What lines do you feel are a bust point?

Because of how easy horizons can be fixed, that's the biggest one for me.  So much I have artificial horizon bar always on.  When running and gunning, or just shooting handheld, it's easy to get caught up in the moment and overlook a slightly off horizon.

Easy! Always have some ready to use gear at hand.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Never click on a forum topic (anywhere) about DSLRs vs mirrorless, protective filters vs bare lens, or OEM printer ink vs refills.
Life’s just too short.
