Get Close Game!

This is for any photographer from someone who is starting out to a photographer who has been photographing for many years. I know you have heard If you don’t like the photograph you took get closer. That is alway a great idea. This game is to see how strong is a subject is from many different views. Start as far away as you can. Then get a little closer. After moving in closer get as close to your subject that allows your lens to focus. This could just be a texture of the subject because you are so close. You may end up with a few killer photographs. The composition of the closes image or somewhere close to the furtherest one away. They both may be very strong images. This will help you see what is the best distance for a particular subject.

Depending on the type of lens you use will greatly change the look of your subject. Try out different types of lenses you have. From wide to fisheye and don’t forget telephoto lenses. See what looks interesting using a fisheye lens using the close up game. You may be very surprised how using a wide lens close up will make your image look.

Critiquing vs. Criticizing!

Critiquing vs. Criticizing! 

Critiquing vs. Criticizing! Do you know the difference? Critiquing the works of other photographer requires you to comment on the positive and the negative in a balancing act. So you give the good with the bad in equal parts.
Now if you are criticizing the work of a photographer all you are doing is giving negativity comments about the photograph. You are not offering any positive feedback for the photographer. Criticizing someones work is so unprofessional. Kind of a dick move also. So learn to critique not to criticize someone’s photographs.
Critiquing someones photograph and critiquing your own work. Will help improve your photography. You will start to analyze your composition through the camera before you even touch the shutter button.
When you want to critique a photograph do you know the three basic questions to ask yourself? Lets start with the positive. What is good about it? What is not good? How could it be better? You are training your eyes to see like photographer. 


The more photographs you are able to critique the better your composition will be. So find some photographs that you can critique so you can start improving your own photography.

PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOT ART!!!

Photography is not art! Have you ever heard this? I know I have. Here's how they justify that statement. Anybody can take a picture but not everybody can paint a painting. I bet you have heard this also. When someone says this to me. First nine times out of ten. They are not any type of artist at all. So I tell them that I don’t own a pig that can paint, or a painting elephant. But I do have a Monet paint by numbers that I painted. I am not putting down painters. I admire many painters. I am just showing that an artist is an artist no mater what his medium is. If you are a photographer,painter,sculptor,and many more different type of people who create. All are artist. Do you agree with me? What is your opinion about who is an artist?
This is a very old original tobacco barn!
I am a photographer and an artist! Photographers are artist! Photographers are just as creative with their photos as fine art painters. Photographers and painter use very similar rules to achieve a fantastic piece of art. Rule of third, framing, and lighting are both used in a painting and a photograph. Painters add  elements they want to include in their paintings to improve the final masterpiece. Photographers try to remove distracting elements in their photographs to improve composition for a much better photographers
