Some people are blessed with exceptional abilities in drawing or painting. Other of us have a difficult time with stick figures. Ephemeral blossoms bring beauty for a time. Volumes have been written about creating exceptional photographs. I will attempt to present a few of these ideas in a very digestible manner.
Great photography begins in the mind of the photographer.
It takes almost no effort to lift a camera and snap the shutter. Conversely, it does take just a little time and effort to choose and position the subject in an award-winning manner. Rather than placing the subject at the center of the photo, try positioning it off center for a more gripping approach. Assess the Angle. Choose your position carefully.
