Show Notes

  • Keep an open mind and be willing to adjust to the weather.
  • Think in geometrical shapes to find pleasing composition.
  • Adding a person into the photo adds an adventurous feeling, but more importantly gives a sense of scale to your image.
  • See what others are doing, and how you can put your own style on it.
  • Take images with a range of settings so you have options when you return to the studio.
  • Be prepared for the locations that you are going to and understand any dangers you might face.
  • The “Rule of Thirds” is only one small point of photography composition and if you focus too much on it, you can ignore other compositional aspects which will destroy the image.
  • Forcing a particular composition rule into a photo that just doesn’t have it can be a waste of time.
  • Do the kind of photography that you enjoy doing. Learn from others, but make sure you’re having fun!
