Internal musings and thoughts

Savor the moment.

         Composing a photographic subject takes time. I don't like pointing and shooting, There is more to the art than just pulling out a camera and snapping

a photo. Photography is an art that needs to be appreciated. Savor the moment of capturing the photograph.

{indentSometimes I scope out a location before photographing the subject. I want to see what the subject looks like at different times of the day. Other times I

will immediately take out my camera and set up my shot. I love taking time to compose the shot. Finding the right placement for the subject to create a

pleasing photograph is essential.

         Rule of thirds, leading lines, and framing are components that create excellent photography. These are a few elements that make a composition

powerful. Finding the right composition takes time to produce the right photograph. I look through the viewfinder a few minutes to make sure the subject is

right where I want it. Making sure there are no distracting elements in the viewfinder is important.

         I don't want any protruding elements, for example, people in the background, blurry subjects, out of place trees, and crooked elements. Take time to

view your subject matter first before you take the photograph. Don't rush into taking the photo, but study the subject first. The power of studying the subject

then composing the photo makes photography a wonderful art. Take the time to compose the subject, and enjoy the art of photography.
