Depth of Field
Getting close with your camera and choosing your point of focus allows shallow focus to be amplified.
Hard Light
Shadow Play
Some light sources create a hard edge which draws attention to a specific part of the image, creating a dramatic element to the photo.
Black and White
Moments - An intimate moment between observer and subject sometimes demands the calm of no colour.
Shutter Speed
Using Time
Using a long shutter speed with deliberate camera movement creates fun patterns of light
Light
Morning is beautiful. There is contrast and richness in the subject we photograph.
Balance
The Zen of Photography - The symmetry of a subject demands a simple composition for a strong image
Reflections
We see light when reflected off a surface which can be captured with a long lens and controlled exposure– we see beauty in a reflections reflection.
Silhouette
When the light is brighter than the foreground we gain the simplicity of shape in a silhouette
Perspective
Using a wide angle lens get up close to your subject to create real depth in a photo.
