We all like tips!!! don't we???

Hi my fabulous followers!!!!

well been super busy as always(wouldn't have it any other way!) so I haven't been able to do an entry in a few days, Bad Lolo(what my family calls me).

Anywho, was looking at all the awesome comments that i have recieved, and noticed alot of very thoughtful comments on my photography... THANK YOU!!!

Since I am going to school to be the best photographer I can be, why not share my knowledge with you guys so you too can wow your friends and family with your pictures....

Anyway, I am thinking once a week I will give a "tip of the week" cause we all like tips don't we???

So with that in mind....

My first tip...

(don't eat yellow snow... tee hee hee, a big deal in the house with two dogs!)

No really now...

GET CLOSER!!!!! this tip is true no matter what you are taking pictures of. People want to see, the expressions on faces, and the energy of the photo.. less back ground, more details on what is really happening, captureing how that moment made you feel!!!

So lets look at an example of this....

This is a picture of my friend Jackie and I as we are boarding the cruise ship....

Please notice all the useless space on the right hand side, is it adding to the story of the photo?

NO

can you see our expressions? NO really...

Why not move closer...

In this picture you can still see the ship, as it is part of the story, however, you can also see our smiley faces, and the friendship between two people, a much mor eye catching picture if you as me!!!

It sounds simple but people often forget to get closer to there subject....

However, with every rule there are times to break it...

If you see a bear and want a photo... CLOSER is not a good idea....

Happy shooting!!!!
