Oh dang, I actually like vignetting! :lol:

I 'll have to offer my .2cents that art is definitely subjective. There's pretty much the school of thought that rules shouldn't be broken. But there's also the flip side which believes anything goes if it is meant to be creative/distinctive. It's a path one takes to find their way to a personal style. Since we have different ideas on how to interpret/create art.

Technically vigentting is looked upon as a problem if the idea is to make sure equipment is working correctly and properly matched. For example say a lens has imconsistent light transmission, or say the coatings are uneven. Even a thick fiilter on a wide angle can technically be seen as a problem when vignetting is seen. But technical reasons aside, vignetting is often used on purpose to draw the attention to a specific area in the photo. It's entirely another tool used by a photographer to communicate a photograph a certain way.

It's probably less used nowadays in color photography or digital. But traditional black and white hand printing is where you have pure control over this.

But maybe using vignetting as a creative tool is becoming a lost art. I have to admit I grew up with photography when we actually did practice in the B/W darkroom. Many of my instructors taught us this technique.

A lot of well known documentary photographers use vignetting on purpose for example. It's quite effective if done right. As an example, go to a Barnes and Nobles and check out any book compilations by Magnum or National Geographic photographers. A good amount will show a characteristic darker edge surrounding the photo.

Ok, i'll shut up now. Consider my comments more of a defense on vigenetting than anything else :P

As for the photo Lorisner took, if you did it on purpose, it's all good if you like how it turned out. But if you are wondering why it happened, then yes please check your filter. You will most-likely need a low-profile filter to prevent it if you don't want that effect ;)

meh, vignetting sux, and all who use it suck too! :P

[Brabus]

I've "used" it before... haha

[LorinserCClass]

ACTUALLY I did not know what vignetting was until I read your replies guys :( Like I said first outing w/it-not so succesful....But next outing I will definitely try and refine my 'minimal' skills :D I never knew photography was so much fun :)
