"A good eye for pictures - either you have it or you don't."
I think some are born with it but it is possible to nurture/train a person. It lays a lot in the person's character and passion.
e.g. if the person is determined and really work very hard for it, nothing would actually stop this person from excelling in his passion(taking a great shot in this case).
Personally, I have great passion for drama, in areas like script writing, acting, directing and story boarding.
Despite the passion, I had problems with my language and had no background in drama(no training neither do I have any experience). But I was determined and seize every opportunity to be involved in drama productions/projects in church or in school.
It took me extra effort to read up books, research and seek advice from the 'pros'.
This human incapability of mine didn't restricted my faith and trust in excelling in drama.
However I do agree that people who are more sensitive about life and emotions would TEND to have better eye for pictures. I must say, experience and knowledge plays an important role in the overall quality.
Handling a new toy was fun today(we used the S.L.R camera). After loads of theories on angles and focuses, finally we got a chance to toy with it. It's a lot of fun figuring it out and trying the focuses. I don't know if I have a good eye for picture, am unsure what it takes to have it anyway. It's a lot about perspectives. to me:
