Article 1
(also: "Buyer," "Customer," "Client," "You," "Your") refers to a person using the Connecto company's Services for a fee, or a person ordering the use of the Company's services in person or via telephone, or any visitor to one of Connecto's Internet pages who completes the electronic order form (hereby known as:
"Booking Form"
). The confirmation of an order shall mean that the Passenger has entered into a legally binding contractual relationship with the Company in accordance with our current and valid Terms and Conditions.
"Lead Passenger"
refers to the person whose name is listed first on the Booking Form (see below.) Unless stated otherwise, this Person bears responsibility for communicating with the Company, with any of its representatives, as well as for making any changes to the Service subsequent to its ordering or for making special requests and/or directions during the Service. A person shall not be considered a Lead Passenger unless they are at least 18 years old and legally able to engage in contracts. By making a booking, the Lead Passenger is agreeing to these Terms and Conditions. The Lead Passenger is the person responsible for paying the full price of Services ordered and/or rendered, including any insurance premiums and subsequent cancellation charges, as applicable. The Lead Passenger shall undertake to inform all other Passengers fully and accurately about all Services ordered, including any changes made after the initial booking. The Lead Passenger confirms that all Passengers accept and agree to these Terms and Conditions. The Lead Passenger is the only Passenger allowed to make modifications or amendments to Services booked. This provision shall be held unenforceable in the case of death or serious illness of the Lead Passenger, in which case the Company will accept a written instruction to cancel or amend the booking if such an instruction comes from another Passenger or an executor or legal representative of the original Lead Passenger. Any modifications or amendments must be approved by the Connecto Company's representatives. No modifications or amendments are valid until our approval. The most recently issued Transfer Confirmation is valid in all cases unless a superseding modification or amendment was issued by us verbally via telephone. In this sole exception we will undertake to issue an updated Transfer Confirmation in writing as soon as possible.
refers to trips organized by and on behalf of the Company and booked by or on behalf of the Client. A Service consists of, but is not limited to, Transportation Services, and various Guided and/or Curated Activities, as well as the Brokering of such Services for or on behalf of the Client. A Client may book a Service consisting of a single component, such a single Activity or a single Transportation Service. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, Transportation Services refers to chauffeured vehicle rentals or
refers to a third-party provider of Services, such as may be hired by the Company to perform Services and/or component Activities on its behalf. Our Partner may have their own terms and conditions ("Partner's Conditions.") You consent to be bound by these by virtue of ordering the Service. In the event of any conflict between the Partner's Conditions and these Terms and Conditions, the Partner's Condition shall take precedence in the event that the Transportation Service is being actually rendered by the Partner, unless this Condition is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable under Article 14 below, in which case the relevant Term or Condition in these Terms and Conditions will prevail. All of Connecto's Partners are companies registered in their respective countries' court registries and fully licensed to perform the pertinent Service.
or "Voucher" refers to a written document confirming the Ordering of a Service, which includes all details listed in the Booking Form unless otherwise specified, sent to you via e-mail or printed from a computer and provided to you in person.
Article 2
By filling out the Booking Form you acknowledge that you have the capacity to enter into legally binding contracts on behalf of yourself and/or any other Passengers. The Booking form shall be considered an integral and essential component of these Terms and Conditions.
If for any reason you refuse to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and to adhere to them, you cannot order any Service from us. The Company will not knowingly perform any Service for a Customer that has not agreed to these Terms and Conditions.
In case you consider any provision or statement listed in these Terms and the Booking Form unclear or if you are uncertain whether it applies to you, we strongly encourage you to contact our Customer Service Department for clarification. Failure to do so shall absolve us of any responsibility to you, whether listed or implied in these Terms and Conditions or otherwise.
Any changes to these Terms and Conditions will be published in the form of an announcement on our websites.
Article 3
Unless otherwise explicitly stated, the Service shall consist of trips in the form of Chauffeured Vehicle Rentals or
refers to a car, van, minibus or bus. Unless otherwise stated, all Services shall begin and end at a predetermined location as entered on the Booking Form. Additional Services, such as participation in various activities or the services of an expert guide to the pertinent locality or activity, may be ordered as needed.
Chauffeured Vehicle Rentals are Transportation Services over land and sea. The exact route to be taken cannot be guaranteed. Maps provided on our Internet pages are for illustration purposes only. Likewise, every reasonable effort will be made to respect departure and travel times as stated on the Booking Form and our website; however, all times are approximate estimates.
Both the pick-up and the drop-off address must be written clearly and formally as the valid address of a unique geographical location belonging to the area of the Transfer's destination. Jargon, acronyms or visual descriptions are permitted only as supplements to the formal address in order to help locate it. We accept no liability for any transfer delays or cancellations because of an incorrectly specified address. Moreover, in case that either the pick-up or the drop-off address are inside a car-free zone, we commit only to using the nearest possible location. We cannot be held accountable for any loss or discomfort arising from such circumstances.
Transfer Confirmation
will be sent to you via email as soon as we have processed your booking. You should print this Confirmation and show it to your driver.
Your driver should be waiting for you at your desired Point of Departure. In case you are having trouble meeting the driver, you are instructed to call our Customer Service department. If you fail to contact our Customer Service and make alternative travel arrangements, we and/or our Partners shall be held absolved of any contractual, actual or legal obligation or liability to you. This includes any right you may have to apply for a refund. If you are not present when and where the Service was scheduled, or at that location within the following 30 minutes, nor have you placed a telephone call to our office in this period, we will consider you a
and charge you for any Services you booked.
Each Passenger is entitled to one travel bag or suitcase and one hand luggage item such as a handbag. The travel bag or suitcase shall not exceed 69 cm / 27 inches on the longest side. The sides of hand luggage items shall not exceed 55, 40 and 24 cm respectively / 22, 16 and 10 inches. Please note that any
oversized items should be declared ahead of time
, as the vehicle chosen for your Service will typically not be able to accommodate additional or oversized luggage items. Additional and/or oversized items may entail additional charges, as per valid company tariffs. Unless otherwise specified in the Booking Form, the price of transporting personal luggage in line with the limitations detailed above is included in the price as listed. However, non-standard luggage (e.g. skis, golf clubs, surfboards) may be subject to extra charges. If you possess a non-standard amount of luggage per passenger or have any doubts about the vehicle's capacity, you should contact us and submit a full list of luggage items with their dimensions and weights for our approval. We undertake all reasonable precautions to accommodate passengers' luggage-related demands and cannot be held responsible for any problems involving excess or nonstandard luggage. We will make a reasonable effort to return any items inadvertently left behind in the vehicle, however it is your responsibility to cover shipping costs as well as any ancillary expenses (e.g. customs duties.)
Child seats, booster seats and wheelchairs are available on request. Please note that we cannot be held accountable if any children traveling with you cannot fit into age-appropriate seats. You should mention this possibility when you book our Service.
Additional preset features may be displayed in the Booking form together with a price list, pending availability and applicability.
With the exclusive exception of trained guide/service dogs, we are able to transport animals only if they are secured in appropriate carriers, such as crates or cages, and provided that the Passenger has asked for written permission prior to the commencement of the Transfer. We reserve the right to deny transportation to any animal other than a trained guide/service dog.
Article 4
Cargo Transfer
consists of the transportation of unattended items of any type or weight. We do perform Cargo Transfers on occasion; however, the acceptance or rejection of a Cargo Transfer request is entirely at our discretion. In order to apply for a Cargo Transfer, you must make sure that your cargo meets the following criteria:
Non-hazardous (e.g. no chemicals, flammables or explosives),
Appropriate shape and weight,
Non-perishable, odorless, not extremely fragile,
Not of excessive value (e.g. large amounts of cash, jewelry, financial documents, valuables or art pieces more appropriate for the post office or a specialized courier service)
By issuing a Booking Confirmation, the Company commits to receive Cargo from the Customer, transport it to the agreed destination and deliver it to the recipient (or another authorized person, in which case we will need written authorization). The transfer route is written on the Cargo Transfer slip, as are the full name and address of both the sender and the recipient. After the Cargo has been loaded, the Driver confirms it by issuing a receipt. Upon arrival at the destination, the Cargo recipient acknowledges the receipt by signing a copy of the Cargo Transfer slip, which is then kept by the Driver.
Article 5
The Customer books a request for Transportation services on one of our websites, or via e-mail, or by telephone, or the Customer may visit the Company offices in person.
It is the Customer's responsibility to ensure that all booking details are correct, that any special requests or circumstances have been documented and that full payment is made in exact accordance with the Booking form. By clicking or tapping the "Book Now" button on the Website, or by completing the equivalent Booking process via telephone or in person (which much include some form of confirmation, such as clicking or tapping the confirmation link sent from our Customer Service), you accept these Terms and Conditions in their entirety. Any other procedure or communication between the Company and the Passenger cannot be construed as valid or complete bookings, nor can they be subject to these Terms and Conditions.
The Company's obligation to provide the Service begins with us issuing you the Confirmation. Your having received the Confirmation obliges you to pay for the Service as detailed in the Booking Form. As per standard industry practice, digital records from our e-mail server shall be considered sufficient proof that you have received said notification(s). Your obligation to us ends with the completion or cancellation of the Service. (See "Cancellations by us" below.)
We recommend that you print a copy of your Confirmation
and carry it on your person for the entire duration of the Service.
It is your sole responsibility to make sure you are eligible to travel to places indicated on your Booking Form. Likewise, the possession of all documents, certificates, etc. which may be inspected in this regard, is also your sole responsibility, as is full compliance with all local laws and regulations. The subsequent discovery that you are ineligible to travel to a certain place, or that you are not in possession of requisite travel documents, or any consequences arising from your non-compliance with local laws and regulations, shall not make your Booking invalid, nor entitle you to any refunds. Moreover, in the event of us having to pay any fines as a result of aforementioned circumstances, we will hold you accountable, and any holds on your credit/debit card (see Article 9) may be used to this end.
Please note that, while we shall conduct due diligence in regards to Flight Codes and departure/arrival times in relation to flight departures/arrivals and make every reasonable effort to advise you on an as-needed basis, you alone remain responsible for ensuring their veracity. We accept no liability for any transfers with departure times in close proximity to flight departure times leading to missed flights or similar problems. For the avoidance of doubt, we advise you to plan your arrival at the airport at least 2 hours ahead of your flight, to which time you should also add the estimated duration of the Transfer (you can see this estimate when you make your booking) extended by an additional 20% to account for any possible delays. Thus, if your estimated transfer duration is e.g. 30 minutes, 20% of that is 6 minutes and our advice would be to plan your arrival at the airport 2 hours and 36 minutes before your flight.
Article 6
Textual, photographic, video and other information on the Company's web pages is provided for illustration purposes only. While the Company will strive to provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information at every opportunity, provision must be made for the periodical unavailability of certain Services or components thereof. This may be due to bad weather, malfunctioning equipment, or any number of other reasons including but not limited to changes in the nature or scope of the relationship between us and a partnering company, the effects of
force majeure
(see Article 11 below), or the unilateral withdrawal by us of a Service, or a component thereof, which had been offered previously. Our staff will make every reasonable effort to ascertain that Passengers have accurate, complete and up-to-date information at the time when they make the Booking. All information pertaining to the time of day activities are set to begin, as well as to their duration, shall be considered approximations or estimates.
Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all times listed on our websites are in Central European Time including Daylight Savings Time (CET inc. DST.) Please note that all times are listed in 24-hour format, thus e.g. 08:00 means 8 AM and 14:45 means 2:45 PM.
Article 7
Connecto welcomes Passengers of all ages. Passengers under 5 years of age are welcome if they are traveling with their parent or legal guardian. Passengers between 5 and 11 years of age must be accompanied by an adult at the start of the Service and also at its conclusion. Passengers between 12 and 14 years of age are welcome if they are traveling with an adult or if they can provide written authority from their parent or legal guardian. Telephone bookings are unacceptable in cases where all Passengers are under 18. Furthermore, visual inspection of a parent's or guardian's signature is the only way to verify the signature. We reserve the right to ask for a notarized letter of authority and an additional document or copy thereof in order to visually verify the signature of the Passenger's parent or guardian. Therefore, a copy of an official document such as a passport shall be provided at our request in order for the signature to be verified. Passengers under 18 years of age are recommended to
carry the letter of authority
on their persons at all times.
In cases where all Passengers are under 18 years of age, the Parent or Guardian of one of the Passengers shall be considered Lead Passenger for contractual purposes, even if this Parent or Guardian will not be using the Service. The name of this Parent or Guardian shall be entered first on the Booking Form, in accordance with Article 1 of these Terms and Conditions.
Article 8
Clients are granted all major payment methods, for example: bank transfer, Amex, Visa, MasterCard, however some payment methods may be unacceptable for certain Services.
They may choose the following payment options:
Partial advance payment, the remainder payable at the time of the transfer, or
Full advance payment, or
Full payment at the time of the transfer.
We reserve the right to refuse any requests for the use of payment methods different from those chosen at the time of the Booking.
We reserve the right to place a hold on your credit/debit card in the full amount of the Services you booked, regardless of your chosen payment method. This does not mean your card has been charged, nor that it will be.
We will be happy to buy connecting transportation tickets for you, e.g. for ferry boats or trains. However, please be advised that such additional expenses are non-refundable. We will document any such additional expense and provide you, at your request, with documentation detailing all non-refundable fees and expenses.
If you are using a proxy to book or pay for Services that will be rendered to you (e.g. booking our Service via a travel agency), then the timely fulfillment of all financial, legal and other obligations to that proxy and/or the proxy's financial, legal and other obligations to you remains entirely the responsibility of yourself and that proxy. Under no circumstances shall we be held financially, legally or otherwise liable or responsible to that third party.
All Connecto documents such as receipts, vouchers and confirmations are provided for you free of charge.
Article 9
Your Transfer Confirmation will include cancellation instructions. If you cancel any Booking, you are not automatically eligible for a refund. We commit to making a reasonable effort to process any cancellation request as soon as practicable. Each cancellation request we receive will be dealt with on a case-to-case basis, and decisions we reach cannot be considered binding in other cases, even in similar or identical circumstances.
If the Service consists of a round-trip journey, the legs may be cancelled individually, however the date and time first leg of the journey shall be taken into consideration with regard to any possible refunds. We reserve the right to charge you for any Service you ordered from us at any point, according to our sole judgment.
Article 10
While we will strive to match and exceed our Passengers' expectations in all cases, on certain rare occasions we will be forced to cancel a booked Service. The reasons for this can be technical, e.g. a malfunctioning vehicle impossible to replace in time, or organizational, e.g. miscommunication between us, you and a Partner. Regardless of causes and circumstances, the Company commits to issue the Passenger with a refund for Services booked and charged but not rendered, unless circumstances detailed elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions render the Passenger ineligible for a refund.
Article 11
The Company shall be considered released from its obligations as per these Terms and Conditions if the Company or any of its representatives and contracted partners are unable to fulfill their obligations as a consequence of
force majeure
arising after the ordering of the Service.
Force majeure
refers to emergency events that could neither be predicted by the Company nor prevented by reasonable measures.
Events arising from force majeure are those for which the Company is not responsible and/or cannot influence them, but they considerably affect the provision of the Service. Such events are, for example, an earthquake, a flood, a fire, strikes, government regulations or orders of state bodies, military actions of any character etc.
Article 12
We reserve the right to deny access to a Service to any Clients who:
are deemed unfit to travel and/or use or utilize the Service you ordered, or
whose actions could cause danger for or distress to other Passengers, or to our staff, or to the staff of our Partners, or to the public, or could cause damage to property.
Additionally, your contract with us may be terminated, and you will not be entitled to any refund or compensation. In cases of infractions against a particular component of a Service, you may have to comply with specific conditions for the duration of your Service. Neither Connecto nor any of its Partners shall be held responsible or liable for accidents, injuries, loss or damage caused by your inappropriate behavior, including behavior under the influence of substances of any nature, including prescription drugs and other substances used as remedies.
If any Passenger damages or breaks anything during the Service, we and/or the relevant property owners will hold the Lead Passenger responsible for paying any compensation as per damage reports and invoices issued by the relevant organization. Failure to pay will result in additional liability for legal costs incurred in pursuing a claim against the guilty party.
Article 13
Any form of travel involves a degree of personal risk. Your decision to use or utilize our Service indicates that you have understood and accepted the risks involved. It is essential that you adhere strictly to safety instructions given by our and/or Partner staff. Likewise, if any Passenger feels uncomfortable or uncertain about taking part in any Activity, the appropriate staff members should be alerted immediately. You are under no obligation to take part in any Activity which you have ordered. We recommend that you take out travel insurance whenever you take a trip of any length.
Article 14
Our staff work hard to make sure that our Passengers have an impeccable experience every time they use our Services. This includes internal quality control and a careful vetting process for potential Partners. We take all feedback received from our Passengers very seriously and base our decision-making on it. Consequently, we pride ourselves on our excellent record in some of the world's toughest markets. However, some complaints and disputes are inevitable.
You are strongly encouraged to study these Terms and Conditions, along with all other applicable documents, prior to booking our Service. We will make every reasonable effort to answer any questions you may have regarding our Services. Complaints are acceptable if submitted in written form within 48 hours of the completion of the Service. Should you choose to register a written complaint regarding any of our Services or their components, we undertake to process your complaint at our earliest possible convenience, and in any case no later than 30 days after we receive it. As in previously described situations, digital records from our servers shall be considered sufficient proof of the date on which we received your complaint. We undertake to issue any refund payments to you without undue delay, or at most 30 days after reaching a decision to issue the funds to you. Please note that we cannot be held responsible for the actual transfer of funds to your account. We will document our payment and submit this proof of payment to you at your request.
Information communicated to us in error, including but not limited to mistyped names and other details on the Booking Form etc., shall not make the Passenger eligible for a refund. Neither shall obvious mistakes made by any side be considered legally binding.
If a Passenger misses a connecting flight or any other means of transportation due to circumstances not directly and entirely under our control, we cannot be held accountable, nor can we be expected to cover the resulting expenses. Whether or not circumstances are directly and entirely under our control shall be determined solely and exclusively by us. In such cases the Company commits to issuing a full refund for the cost of the transfer only. Additionally, if we have booked other means of transportation for the Passenger at the Passenger's request, such as purchasing ferry tickets, then the cost of these additional transportation services will also be refunded. The cost of any special requests made by the Client other than connecting transportation is non-refundable.
If you ask for a refund and we decide that you are eligible for it, we undertake to transfer the pertinent funds to you no later than 30 days after reaching this decision. We reserve the right to change the refund amount at our discretion. Other than where explicitly listed in these Terms and Conditions, all refunds are subject to our sole judgment. We reserve the right, for any reason whatsoever and at our sole discretion, to offer, withdraw, limit and/or refuse applications for refunds. Furthermore, our offer or provision of any refund shall not in any way be construed as a precedent or obligation in any other case involving refunds, even if they pertain to the same Service and/or Customer.
We have a legal duty to make reasonable efforts to provide the Services you ordered and to arrange for our Partners and third parties to provide services and facilities in accordance with your Order. However, reasonable efforts do not mean we are required to comply with each and every local law and regulation, particularly where these impose absolute obligations. If you wish to make any claim against us, you must demonstrate that reasonable efforts have not been made, either by us or by a Partner or third party whose services and/or facilities were arranged by us on your behalf.
For claims which involve death or personal injury resulting from an activity forming part of your trip, we have liability and we will pay you reasonable compensation, in each case subject to all the exclusions and limitations set out within these Terms and Conditions, where that claim arises from circumstances under our control, or under the control of our Partner.
Other than as set out above and elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions, we shall have no legal, financial or other liability whatsoever to you for any loss, damage, personal injury or death which you suffer arising directly or indirectly from using our Services. Additionally, if it is determined that we have any liability to you, our liability shall be limited in accordance with all applicable international conventions.
If any dispute between us and you is not reconciled after a reasonable effort to do so on part of both sides, the dispute shall be brought before the Arbitration court with jurisdiction over the Connecto company's seat.
You commit to making a reasonable effort to assist us in recovering any sum which may compensate us for any refunds we have issued to you, as well as in obtaining reimbursements from a third party. Any rights you may have to compensation arising from any third party's legal liability to you with respect to our Services shall be considered assigned to us by you unless this has been addressed otherwise.
In the event that any provision of these Terms and Conditions is or becomes legally ineffective, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby. Any legally ineffective provisions of shall be immediately replaced by effective provisions, which most closely implement the commercial purpose intended by these Terms and Conditions.
Article 15
These Terms and Conditions are set out in English, with translation provided in Croatian, German and French, as required.
Article 16

Any use or usage of our websites or any of their contents for any purpose other than ordering our Services is prohibited.

Article 25
Under the provisions of the GDPR you are entitled to certain rights with regard to your personal information. For example, you are entitled to contact us at any time and request that we update, delete or transfer your personal information either to yourself or to a third party of your choosing. This Article details these rights and how to exercise them.
The right to be informed
: You may ask us for a general description of our activities with regard to the gathering and processing of information, including but not limited to: the name and contact information of our organization, the name and contact information of our representative and/or Data Protection Officer (DPO), the general purpose and legal basis for our data processing, the categories of personal data we gather and the time periods for which we store them, as well as a list of rights available to individuals, including their right to file a complaint with the proper supervisory bodies and, lastly, any information about our activities with regard to automated decision making and/or profiling.
The right of access
: You may ask us to confirm whether we are currently processing your personal information, to submit a copy of this information to you, or to answer certain other questions regarding your personal information, such as what information we possess, what we use it for, what your rights are, through what channels you may file complaints, how we gather information and whether or not we have carried out any activities with regard to automated decision making or profiling, all assuming that such information has not already been delivered to you as part of the Privacy Policy itself forming an integral part of these Terms and Conditions.
The right to rectification
: You may ask us to rectify any incorrect personal information we may have. Where applicable, we may ask you to double-check the accuracy of the information before we act on your request.
The right to erasure
: You may ask us to erase your personal information, in the event that this information is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was gathered, or if you decided to withdraw your consent (this provision applies only to cases where the gathering of information was conditional on your consent), or if you successfully exercised your right to object (see below), or if your information was processed in an unlawful way, or else if this erasure is necessary in order to comply with legal requirements. We are under no obligation to honor your request for the erasure of personal information in cases where its processing is necessary in order to comply with legal requirements, nor if we need your personal information to establish, use or justify a legal claim. Certain other conditions exist which would relieve us of the duty to comply with your erasure request; however, we have listed the two most common grounds for refusal.

Good Composition is a key element of good photographs yet is something that is hard to define.
Instead of looking at composition as a set of 'rules' to follow – I view it as a set of ingredients that can be taken out of the pantry at any point and used to make a great 'meal' (photograph). Alternatively I've often described it as a set of 'tools' that can be taken out of one's compositional tool belt at any given time in the construction of a great image.
The key is to remember that in the same way as a chef rarely uses all the ingredients at their disposal in any dish – that a photographer rarely uses all of the ingredients of composition in the making of an image.
Today I'd like to look at five of the ingredients (or tools, or elements) of composition that I draw on in my photography. They're not 'rules' – just things that I consider when setting up a shot.
There are patterns all around us if we only learn to see them. Emphasizing and highlighting these patterns can lead to striking shots – as can high lighting when patterns are broken.
Read more on using repetition and patterns in photography.
Depending upon the scene – symmetry can be something to go for – or to avoid completely.
A symmetrical shot with strong composition and a good point of interest can lead to a striking image – but without the strong point of interest it can be a little predictable. I prefer to experiment with both in the one shoot to see which works best.
Read more on symmetry in photography.
Images a two dimensional thing yet with the clever use of 'texture' they can come alive and become almost three dimensional.
Texture particularly comes into play when light hits objects at interesting angles.
Read more on using light to create texture in your photography.
The depth of field that you select when taking an image will drastically impact the composition of an image.
It can isolate a subject from its background and foreground (when using a shallow depth of field) or it can put the same subject in context by revealing it's surrounds with a larger depth of field.
Read more on getting shallow depth of field and also this video tutorial on depth of field.
Lines can be powerful elements in an image.
They have the power to draw the eye to key focal points in a shot and to impact the 'feel' of an image greatly.
Diagonal, Horizontal, Vertical and Converging lines all impact images differently and should be spotted while framing a shot and then utilized to strengthen it.
These are just some of the elements of composition that I consider in my photography. They reflect my own style and personality but there are plenty more.
Update: Check out our new post – 5 More Elements of Composition in Photography for more elements to consider when composing an image.
Held camera for long, didn't bother to learn (partly no time), now time is with me. I read, study vigorously, quickly in case light shuts without warning…yes, Darren's materials help.TQ
I'm a beginner wanna be pro i have a Canon600D. I have taken some great shots (I think anyway) but I can't get the hang of the lens. I have 2 18-55 and 55-200 I think. I hate carrying both with me which is the best one to use. Love these tips. Who is Annie
Darren's tips on the vast field of photography are very interesting and valuable. . Looking forward to more posts .
I like the five rules
When was this article posted?
I like the five elements of comp. I might get a camera real soon, too. A cool tatt would make a nice picture for any of the elements.
I really liked the 5 rules.
But I was curious about why nothing was said about
proportions of composition. Where should the focus be?
Center, left third, or right third?
I love this article and the links included in it. I learned a lot from it. Thanks so much, and will continue on to part 2!
Thanks Darren Rowse, Fairly new to Dig. Phot. and found this helpful.
Darren,thank you very much.It's so simple but convincing advice that everyone must 'swallow' these in full.
Great post for beginers and some veterans alike. This post itself should be considered to keep in one's tool belt to refer back as needed.
Have you written a book we could purchase, with all these articles in it? I like to sit and study my photography textbooks. Your articles inspire me and I like the links so can flit here and there. Every one of your examples is a great teaching tool.
Daren thank you very much for sharing your talent, it gives me idea on how to improve my composition
It's a great information for me. I always looking at anything could share about composition on Photography, I am a beginner Photographer and I always wanted to see my shots differently, the details where I wanted to capture and the correct composition of my subject. thank you Mr. Darren for sharing your talent with us.
Thank you Darren! I really like articles that are to the point and not long and drawn out. Pictures really help people understand what you are trying to say. You did an excellent job!
i appreciate ur point.... it will be very helpful for my study material.. color should be there i think. neways thanks
you copied my teacher.... cool!
Thanks for the information. I've not thought of texture before when thinking of composition. I will gave to play with that idea now and see what it yields. Feel free to check out my composition information at www.great-photography-tips.com/Photography-Tips-Composition.html.
I loved this post, the first time it was sent to me. Anything new to add?
Sometimes, Annie, you just have to say what is on your mind!
Composition is exegesis. If one thinks of a book as the photograher's medium one "interprets the meaning" of a portion of the book with ones creative eye. Each person using this site will experience the moment differently and that my friends is what makes photography so very exciting. If any of you get National Geographic, take a look at 5-11 issue as it has Abelardo Morell's facinating experiments with the "Camera Obscura." Talking about composition!!
very nice thanks , understand and master is very hard , I read and see all but master a photo is very hard , how anyone looks at it , looks at defferent thing then the other so what is right or not right !!!
Easy to understand but hard to master
Darren, I love your posts as usual. You've always done a great job thoroughly explaining things in an informative way. On the other hand, I think you missed some important elements of composition: backdrop, viewpoints, filling the frame, or even keeping it simple for instance. I did a blog post on this matter a few weeks ago: http://bit.ly/hBOnyi But I also feel that people need to know that sticking to your instincts may be the best rule, because not all the time do these ideas apply.
Hey great stuff, really helpful. I am doing a project on fine art photography, are the elements the same, or is there a difference?
Do you have any information I could look at?
Consulting the rules and laws of composition when taking a photograph is like consulting the laws of gravity when going for a walk.
Quality? What is a quality photograph? Following all the rules of composition will produce a quality photograph. Quality as defined by whom?
Is the quality contained in the photograph presented or does the viewer determine the quality of a photograph?
If I follow the rules of composition, will I come closer to a qualtiy photograph to present? Or can quality be captured in other ways? A quality photograph presents it's story well no matter the rules followed?
I've had my Canoon EOS 500D for over a year now and yet I still have to explore all it's possibilities. I have made a few good shots just by sheer luck and intuition. But finding DPS and reading all the helpful tips and tutorials now makes me feel like I want to carry my gear everyday and take shots of just about anything.
I posted a number of pictures here and I am learning gradually from all the comments I am getting. I would have loved to critique other people's work also but in my mind, my skill and knowledge won't allow me to make a significant input. Will work on it.
Thank you, Mr. Darren Rowse.
seriously i luv this topic so much..i wanna become a profesional photographer...hey there!..support me ok!
I want to thank Mr Darren for the tutorials to some of us that have little or no time to be in the classroom,we are always following with keen interest.
I liked this post. It has inspired me to go out with my camera and look for all of these elements! Thank you.
Thanks for posting!
I thought you did a fantastic description of composition. Thanks
I love these specials, down to the nitty gritty, and keep our own styles, better than any class I've attended, where they try to drum it out of you,Top stuff Darren, you have kept my interested where others can't.
thank you for sharing your expertise. i am learning a lot from your website
thanks for sharing your expertise. i've learned a lot from your DPS.
this website is utter shit, all your information is not sourced correctly. you stupid fat cunt. get your shit together or ill fuck your ass in the court of judge judy. you got it?
Love Annie <3
Thank you very much
It's some thing I like to read...
clear, deep, simple and brief
I enjoy too much
Now this is why I maintain DPS is essential reading for anyone whose passion is photography.
Dear Darren,
I like your website, the articles and the tips on Photography. when I was still in my country Philippines
I have a Canon camera with lens but its not digital.
I kept on using it as I was taking photos of flowers and animals.
With my Samsung camera(digital) 6pixels, I took pictures and views but am not satisfied
with what I am doing. In this site I find it a little helpful to me as I was scanning and reading
tips. I am not a professional photographer but I want my work to be excellent.
I am a beginner photographer and I want to know more about good shots and angles taken from
a beginner perspective.
Really this site is interesting and helpful.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for the article. It was really nice to learn these.
I also wanted some explaination of the concepts with respect to the example pictures shown. Like if you talk about symmetry how this is being captured in the given example. This will be really useful to new people like me to understand.
Great tips! I would add contrast to the mix. Looking for high contrast in a scene, particularly for black and white, can create captivating images. Marc Koegel does it very well (www.silverlandscapes.com).
I agree with one of the previous posts. I've been getting DPS emails for a while, and this link is the first that I'll be bookmarking. Great job, and I love the photo examples!
Darren, I always like your articles. I wish you'd write more.
Everybody learns the rule of thirds when they begin photography. Which is an important rule but soon becomes second nature.
This article shows there is much more to play with beyond that basic. Great photos.
I don't believe photographers are born with an eye..well, maybe some are..but learn it. How do you learn? You try different things and see what works.
These are really some good ideas to play with. Especially when you hit a block or are photographing the same thing over and over.
Thanks for the pointers. I am self taught but a student of art for years. many similarities but obviously different things at your disposal
Great points. Everytime I have some creative blocks and don't seem to be able to "see" what I want, I step back to basics. I try to focus on simple composition; like the point metioned above. Doing this can help break the block.
Very Nice!
Those are some great pics to accompany!
Thank You
I would also add perspective as another item to consider in photography composition. Can really help define a photo.
Good reminder of the elements of composition. I like the photo illustration for Pattern.
Colors. You forgot the colors.
best article in awhile, composition is the key to any strong image.
this is brilliant!
lines and texture combined - http://www.flickr.com/photos/singhangad/4603735733/
you shd have talked about frames as well - http://www.flickr.com/photos/singhangad/4601862787/in/set-72157624070840854/
leading lines - http://www.flickr.com/photos/singhangad/4581021034/
also talk about shooting different angles..from the ground etc
Great, short article, that I would recommend every beginner in photography. I'm a fan of those articles which make their points in one sentence, and show examples.
Great post! Something for us all to keep in mind when were photographing a subject,
I would add the angle you shoot from. simply getting a different perspective of a subject that people don't often see can make a boring shot into something outstanding. The pasterns image is a good example.

There's a wonderful, Mamet-esque line in The Rock I'm fairly certain was added by Aaron Sorkin in one of his uncredited punch-ups, and it's "Your best? Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen." Only Sean Connery in a movie about escaping from Alcatraz could deliver such pure machismo nonsense and make it sound almost poetic.
The only thing that made it better is the hilariously named Stanley Goodspeed retorts "Carla was the prom queen." I.e., sometimes being a nerd is badass. I say this because Audi's big Super Bowl ad is called "Prom" (Worth It) and implies that randomly grabbing and kissing the prom queen is worth it if it even means getting your ass kicked.
While it doesn't seem consensual, it does seem that the young woman is into it. Or that she's drunk. It is the prom after all. I like this ad even if by Connery's standards he's still a loser.

LOL - great report - looked like the boys had fun. I bet the shark and sting ray were cool for them to see.
I was down at the beach for the weekend with the family, and had promised my older boys a trip to the pier. We had a blast out there last year with bite after bite for them, so they were excited to get back out there. The tide wasn't quite right though, so the bite was slow for the most part. We fished from about 7 to 10pm, with the tide turning in as we were leaving, and the bite starting to pick up, but they were D-O-N-E, done, after a full day on the beach and in the pool.
We caught a handful of small, non-keeper, spot and croaker and folks around us caught some cool fish too. One small shark and a small sting-ray, which made for a cool learning and hands on experience for my boys. They also got in on the action in freeing a snagged seagull.
Once again though, I was really disappointed to see the utter lack of concern and care for our fisheries and waterways by so many. The amount of trash (non-biodegradable stuff) left on the piers to blow-off and hurt wildlife is sickening. The #'s of illegal crab coming over the rails and into buckets was disheartening too. I really wish people would take better care of things and that the VADGIF/VMRC would make a pass from time to time to keep the pier anglers honest. At least I could use it as a teaching experience for my boys.
All in all though - great times with my boys.
A cool way to start 'Shark Week' A guy down the rail caught it, and was kind of leery about getting it off the hook, so we helped.
A Mini-Spot.
Baby Sting-Ray that another fellas little kid caught. He also needed help getting it off his hook.
Cooper was toast...it was all his little 7-yo body could take. LOL
The pre-req 'Sunset Pic' to accompany a slow fishing outing.
Wishin' I was fishin'...
LOL - great report - looked like the boys had fun. I bet the shark and sting ray were cool for them to see.

As the Lok Sabha polls draw closer,the Congress-led UPA appears to be facing the same problem of desertions by allies that was encountered by the BJP-led NDA in 2004.
The 'index of UPA unity' has sharply tumbled with the PMK dumping it and the RJD and LJP forming a secular alliance with the Samajwadi Party for the Lok Sabha polls in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
The PMK is the latest constituent to exit from the Congress-led alliance at the Centre which has seen desertions earlier by the MDMK,TRS and PDP.
In 2004,NDA had seen half a dozen of its allies bidding it adieu on the eve of elections.
At the same time in the run up to the last elections,Congress President Sonia Gandhi had gone the extra mile to bring secular forces on one platform.
She had literally walked to her next door neighbour in Delhi and LJP leader Ram Vilas Paswan,approached NCP Chief Sharad Pawar,who had parted ways with her party on the foreign origin issue,extended the olive branch to DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi and others,initiating the coalition mantra.
The first to quit the NDA camp was LJP which broke away soon after the Godhra incident and its aftermath in 2002. Others who had quit the company of the saffron forces ahead of those polls were the PMK,MDMK,DMK,INLD and RLD.
Out of these PMK,MDMK and DMK in Tamil Nadu became part of the UPA while Paswan had made common cause with the Congress earlier.
The UPA which had a smooth run for over four years got a major shock last year when the Left parties,which were its key outside supporters for four long years,withdrew support to the government on the issue of the Indo-US nuclear deal.
At that time,extension of support by the Mulayam Singh Yadav's Samajwadi Party had helped the Manmohan Singh Government to tide over the crisis by securing the trust vote which the opposition had alleged was won on money power.
Mayawati's BSP,which had supported the UPA in the Presidential elections,was also a prominent opponent of the Government during the July 22 trust vote.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi has been dismissive of suggestions that it was the end of the UPA after the RJD and LJP virtually left the Congress in the lurch in Bihar which has now been contesting most of the 40 seats in the state.
The Telengana Rashtra Samiti had left the UPA on the issue of separate Telangana while the Vaiko-led MDMK parted ways ahead of the Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu in 2006 seeking a proactive role on the Sri Lankan Tamils issue.
PDP left the UPA last year ahead of the Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir after Congress parted ways with it in the polls. The National Conference with which the Congress entered into a tie-up after the Assembly elections last year is on board the UPA.

BETHESDA, MD — Children and adolescents who are overweight are more likely than their normal weight counterparts to suffer bone fractures and have joint and muscle pains, according to a study conducted by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and appearing in the June 2006 issue of Pediatrics. Researchers also found that the overweight youth in the study were more likely than non-overweight youth to develop changes in the knee joint that make movement more difficult.
"Bone, muscle, and joint problems are particularly troubling in this age group," said Elias A. Zerhouni, M.D., NIH director. "If overweight youth fail to attain normal weight, they will likely experience an even greater incidence of these problems when they reach later life."
Three-hundred-and-fifty-five black and white Washington, D.C. area children and adolescents took part in the study, said the study's senior author, Jack A. Yanovski, head of the Unit on Growth and Obesity at NIH's National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Of these children, 227 were classified as overweight and 128 as non-overweight. Upon entering the study, the children underwent a detailed physical examination and were questioned about whether they had experienced any joint, bone or muscle-related problems.
The researchers found that the overweight youth were more likely to experience bone fractures and muscle and joint pain than the non-overweight group. The most common self-reported joint complaint was knee pain, with 21.4 percent of overweight youth reporting knee pain and 16.7 percent of non-overweight youth reporting knee pain. The overweight youth were also more likely to report impaired mobility than the non-overweight youth.
In the article, Yanovski and his coworkers noted that while overweight children and adults have a greater bone density than their non-overweight counterparts, this greater density did not protect the youth in the study from bone fractures. Moreover, they wrote, other studies have suggested that overweight boys have poorer balance than non-overweight boys and therefore are more likely to fall.
However, imparied mobility, pain and poorer balance doesn't mean that overweight children can't be active. The authors suggested that significantly overweight children and adolescents should engage in alternative modes of physical activity like swimming to alleviate the severity of lower extremity joint loading and discomfort.

Is it just me, or have the Geocaching.com maps stopped updating? My usual morning routine has been to go to the New Hampshire map and look for the bright green squares showing new caches within the past week. We're fairly close to the NH border and that map gives good coverage of caches within driving distance from our house, both in ME & NH. For the past 2 weeks the same green squares have been there and no new ones have shown up. If I use the personalized maps, I can see new caches but it's really hard to make them out with the tiny "new" flag.
Has anyone else noticed this? What other methods are being used for watching for new caches? Pocket Queries? Zip Code Search? State Search? We used to be able to use Buxley's as a backup but now that is not updated as well. I'm curious to hear what the rest of you do. And I suppose if the GC.com maps are really broken I should report it to them.

Eidur GudjohnsenThe very best posts from KUMB over the years ...
Moderator: Gnome
Eidur Gudjohnsen
Unconfirmed reports that Eidurs agent dad, Arnor Gudjohnsen has held talks with Eggert Magnusson. Would you want him in claret and blue?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=fXv8mc96bkg& ... ed&search=
I would absolutely luv it, I would.......
Thanks Kev!
Though I fear some would still crave a bigger signing :roll:
Eidur is so good technically! One of the best players I've seen live.
Well that covers all the angles
I guess we can take Magnusson's straight denial of having any interest in signing him a few months ago with a pinch of salt then? What was it he said ... something along the lines of 'why would we want to sign a player so similar to Ashton?'
The only thing I don't get is Eggy said that we were not in for Gudjohnsen a month or so back. Any idea (if this is true) why that has changed?
For the record i'd be very happy if this is true. Gudjohnsen is class.
Keep us updated Journo if you see any quotes or more reports.
Presumably because Gudjohnsen's situation has changed...
Anyone got those old quotes from Eggy?

Nano Electro-Mechanical Systems (NEMS) are tiny
machines built at the nanometer scale. Current
NEMS applications are simple machines, such as
the tiny cantilever shown at the right. An electrical circuit measures the deflection
of the lever. A larger version of this device,
with dimensions at the micrometer or millimeter
scale, is commonly used as an airbag sensor in
automobiles. A sudden stop causes a strong
deflection of the lever, which signals that
the airbags should be deployed. At the nano
scale, such a lever is sensitive enough to
measure the weight of individual atoms or
molecules resting upon it.
Learn more about NEMS from the
resources available on this site, listed below.

Kudos to the art director who sold the client on this approach - and to Dodge for going out on a limb by agreeing to such a unique presentation of their product line! This must surely have been a risky decision.
Risky because the style of these illustrations - as beautiful as I think it is - doesn't strike me as terribly appealing to what I imagine as the typical 1950s truck purchaser.
The three ads above were previously presented here on Today's Inspiration. Recently I unearthed two more of these gorgeous, innovatively executed ads.
Seeing that there was in fact a fairly large group of these ads, I searched online and discovered scans of even more images from the series!
What a spectacular series.
And what a beautiful and distinctive style!
And yet I have never come across it anywhere else... who could this mysterious artist have been?
And then I recalled the work of Albert Pucci, whom we recently looked at.
Could Pucci have been the artist behind the 1960 Dodge trucks campaign?
* Thanks to Flickr members Alden Jewell and thisisengage for providing the last two Dodge Trucks scans in today's post!

10 Writers' Unruly, Manly Manes
We were a little bit late in reading Jorian Polis Schutz's analysis of manly manes in the last issue of Cabinet, titled "Barbers and Barbarians," but we're glad we did. Schultz writes, "The savage impulse must withstand the perennial opposition of forces for shortness — for there is always a national mythology of hair to grow out of and into." This got us thinking about great writers' hairstyles through time, from ancient Greek poets to the conceited French intellectuals of today. If hair doth make the man, then the following writers stand against the grain in these times, acting as iconoclastic reminders that one can still be manly (perhaps even more so) with an irrepressible hairdo. So let your hair down and enjoy the following modern scribes' tangled tresses.
Neil Gaiman
In Gaiman's 2009 picture book, Crazy Hair, he writes: "Prides of lions / Make their lair / Somewhere in my crazy hair." Susan Henderson at LitPark even got the author to write a history of his hair on her website here. At one point, Gaiman recounts bleaching his hair as an ill-conceived adolescent stratagem to look like Billy Idol, admitting that it resulted in more of a ginger color. After taking extreme corrective measures, it ended up "raven black," which we think was for the best.

Stylist Picks: Shannon's Top 10 for Summer
Meet Shannon, our Downtown Seattle Store Personal Stylist Manager. We tapped her to share what she and her customers are loving most for summer. Here's a list of her top 10 favorites.
1. Trouvé Faded Denim Shirt. Denim is still in; wear it as a shirt or leave it open and throw it over a great summer dress.
2. NARS 'Thakoon' Nail Polish. I love these bright, fun colors! They are limited-edition, so once they're gone, they're gone.
3. Tracey Reese Cowl Neck Dress. Yellow is the 'it' color. This piece is effortless and breezy—perfect for any special occasion for summer. Need a dress to wear to a wedding? Check!
4. Sequin Small Crystal Station Enamel Bangle. Layer these on to create some chunky accents with all of your lighter pieces. You can wear one or five and create a unique look every time.
5. Ali Ro Short Sleeve Anorak. The perfect summer jacket, it's lightweight and stylish. Transition into fall by layering a long-sleeve top underneath.
6. Ray-Ban 'Classic Wayfarer' 50mm Sunglasses. Who doesn't adore these updated, casual colors? My favorite is the matte grey brown—they go with everything.
7. DVF 'Drew Connect-Dia Jacquard' Shoulder Bag. The perfect combination of function and trend. Get it now and be set for fall.
8. Superga 'Cotu' Sneakers. These are all the rage right now! Cool, classic and comfortable for everyday ventures. Choose a basic or go bold with a fun fashion color for summer and pair them with your printed bottoms!
9. Splendid Print Short. What a great way to transition into summer while staying on trend with printed bottoms. I love this pattern, because it's subtle and easy to wear with so many things—great with a denim shirt and Superga sneakers to complete the look!
10. Johnathan Adler Gothic Rose' iPhone Case. Our phones need updating too. I just bought this and LOVE it.
Hope everyone has a great and sunny summer!
