Often a photo will comprise a patten of objects that are simply grouped or unified by other means. Perspective is key, the motivation and opportunism to slant the lens and tilt the camera and find a new angle on everyday environments. When a series of repeated objects are fresh to the eye, a positioning of the camera can obscure the immediate sensory obfuscations and clarify the lines of the series.
Animal photography is a lucrative market. But for some it’s like chasing your tail. My opinion is that if you have a pet or access to animals, and a great camera, and the patience to learn the techniques, you might be halfway there. For me, the effort has proven exhausting. I am chasing the proverbial two headed walrus and the cat keeps jumping out of the bag. Usually I am the on-the-spot person snapping away. But the animals fail to accommodate me.
One of my assignments this month is to capture efficient yard tips for a landscaping website. These image files must demonstrate an idea about keeping back yards or front yard flowers and gardens efficient. But the challenge from straight photographic image captures is the composition requirements.
Speed radar machine installations kill me. These orange grilled monsters that bleep with their little protective grid of orange safety cones make my teeth grate against each other. Got up at dawn on a clear day to wrest the image of the park from the Earth? The City got there before you. Have fun standing on a car or curling up on the ground to get the right vantage angle.
I have actually been accused of being a better photographer than I am. The reason being is the feature on the camera that decides lens settings and ideal shot capture whenI press the button. I notcied something troubling when i repeatedly pressed the shutter switch and the jittering camera box action actually forced a blur result. This happened a few times before I realized this was a physical hardware issue.
