Here’s the next tip for the composition of a shot.
Driving in NC, hubby and drove past these great railroad
tracks. I knew the lighting was tricky, but could yield some great shots. So,
hubby turned around and let me do a photo shoot.
I started shooting and loved the reflection of the sun off the tracks. However, my first shots weren’t that great. Here is one of
them.
See where the road crosses the tracks? It’s very
distracting. It draws your attention to the road, not the tracks.
Once I caught this, I moved across the road and look at the
shots I got then.
Remember to really look at what’s in your shot. Shoot clean. Move if you need to to edit out the distracting stuff. I don’t have hours on
end to crop and fix photos and you probably don't either. Be more aware of what’s actually in your shot. Try
to shoot clean and your skills will definitely increase!
