Grounded Part 1

Alongside filling the frame, I LOVE a good snail eye view.

This is where you place (carefully) your lens of the camera as close to the ground as possible.

It is absolutely great for street photography, which I discovered at the weekend.

Sometimes you need to experiment and see what happens in your images. You don’t necessarily need to have it all figured out, it’s all about having fun and learning from your images.

Mute the tones, keep the image and pathway central – experiment! It’s all about adaptation and learning.

Watch out for my next blog post “Grounded Part 2” for more street based snail eye photography!

Casting a Shadow

My favourite and most used editing app when it comes to photos, is Adobe’s Lightroom

You have to sign up to adobe but that’s about it! Most of the features are free, obviously you can pay to access the whole package, but I find you have more than enough features without having to pay.

On this image, I enhanced the shadows and contrast to add depth and definition to the image.

What do you think?

For this one, I added more black tones to the podiums so that the green grass in the distance stood out.

Light at the end of the tunnel!

Statue

It’s important to keep going.

If you have a dream that you wish to peruse, keep going. That’s the only advice I can give you.

There have been so many times I have failed in my photography. I’ve bought products that wouldn’t sell, I’ve paid for adverts in local magazines that haven’t received much attention and my sales haven’t been amazing.

But do I give up? Do I stop?

Absolutely not.

You see, that’s how you succeed.

Could you imagine if you gave up and the next day was your winning day?

I know it’s hard, but keep that head up.

Don’t be a statue and freeze and stop altogether.

Keep going.

Central Sensation

When taking photos, I LOVE it when objects are in the centre.

For me, it draws the eye to the centre piece of the image.

It’s so simple, yet highly effective.

When you look at a photo, your subconscious starts your eye to the top left of the image – as this is how you read.

So when taking photographs, I bear this in mind.

Graffiti Gallery

I park my car in a football stadium car park for when I visit town.

It may be a mile round hike to and from the car, but it’s reasonably priced, there’s always a space and hey, it burns a few calories!

To and from my destination, I walk down/up a rather salubrious back alley.

All full of graffiti, it’s hard not to stop and admire the artistry.

I can’t always make out the words, but the talent always catches my eye.
