A Rewarding Advancement in Digital Photography

by

In the beginning, I just basically took snapshots like everyone else, paying no attention to backgrounds, lighting or looking at any kind of composition for my photos. I have learned that all those kinds of things are important for good photography. I think the important thing to do, is look at and analyze a scene whatever it may be. You have also try to take different angles of your subject which can make all the difference in your presentation.

This photo of Chinese Lanterns was a challenge. I have tried many times to photograph these and have finally had success. This for me became a winning photo.



I took this photo on the black countertop in my kitchen (goes to show you can take pictures anywhere). My first thing to do, was shine up the countertop to give it a reflective surface. Next I blocked off sources of bright light and made sure I added a piece of black bristol board on the back wall to as to have a black background as well as the foreground.

The next step was to set the Chinese Lanterns on the counter and position to my liking. I then setup the camera on my tripod, made a few camera adjustments, such as setting the flash and ISO setting at 100. I took several photos at different angles. This one I like the best for the color, composition and the reflections captured.

In the limited software program I have for working on digital photographs, I did a little adjustment by doing some very slight cropping and ended up with a winning photo of my "Chinese Lanterns".

My advice is to have fun, try new things and be creative like my photo below. This was achieved by just added twist and reflection from a software program I have for photos.



Good luck with your photography and if I can be of any help just private message me.
