Grounded Part 2

In my city, we have an arcade of shops called Central Arcade. In it, we have shoe shops, music shops, city enquiries and a Costa. It is such a beautiful place. So much architecture and details.

Look at the ceiling!

Such utter beauty!

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!

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.
