Almost every reader’s photograph you have printed recently has depicted a sunset or a sunrise.

Everyone takes vast numbers of images on digital gadgets. The subjects are cliched, the technique is poor, the imaginative input zero, and the quality of the resulting image often fuzzy.

When it was necessary to use a proper old-fashioned camera with a film, and to know about depth of field and focus, we took great care to maximise the quality of each photograph. There was skill involved.

But now that we can take scores of shots per minute just by pointing a phone or similar device at something, photographic skills seem to have vanished.

Come on, readers, surely you can produce better images.
