- Be an ACTIVE PHOTOGRAPHER. Think about timing, angles, orientation, mid/fore/background, distance, scope, clutter, compositional issues, framing, depth of field, blurred/frozen motion, and content.
What should I think about?
- Think about how you can use what you have already learned about shadows and light , and composition, and angles/distance to help to make beautiful and ugly compositions. Think about THE WHOLE FRAME!!!!! Are you using any of the principles and elements of design ? What about the camera angle and the focal length ? Is there clutter in your photograph? Are you being ACTIVE???
