When we were young

Moments when there isn't a care in the world. Savior them!

Seal and Gull

Critters in their element provide a challenge. They don't sit still, so what do you do? Pre-compose and what for them to come into frame? Follow them about in the view finder clicking when things look "right"? Both?

Misty Shores

The position of the sun in this picture is key in the way it plays off the mist and highlights portions of the people, providing an illusion of depth.

I just goes to show that sometimes things work out better than expected.

Old and Forgotten

You don't have to look too hard to see signs of the times. I think this old road says a lot about the state of things.

The Picnic

Summertime and the living is easy...

Old Fence

Something may seem interesting, but the real heart of the image might just be in the details. Get closer and fill the frame. The sum of the parts are often greater than the whole.

Vibrant

Shadows aren't always your friend. They can make composition difficult as they may add too much contrast for the camera to deal with. You may have to choose an angle that eliminates or minimizes the amount of shadows.

Of course there are methods that can be used to fill in the shadows, such as using reflectors and off camera flash. All options that a photographer needs to be aware of.

As it's not a perfect world we live in, often we have to do with what we've got.
