That one guy at the bus stop taught me more about photo editing than any tutorial
Back in 2017 I was waiting for the 42 bus in Portland and this older dude saw me trying to crop a screenshot on my phone. He laughed and said 'you're cutting off the shadow, that's the whole point.' Then he showed me how he used to cut out magazine clippings with scissors and tape them together for collages. Made me realize my bad crops were actually kinda art too. Has anyone else had a random stranger give them a better tip than any YouTube video?

Did you mean rule of thirds or the golden ratio? Those are two different things.

Yeah you ever have a old guy at a bus stop or something just casually drop a photography tip that actually stuck with you more than anything you read online? I had a lady at a coffee shop show me how to use the rule of thirds with just my fingers on the screen. Still use that trick all the time.
