Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

And before those of you in the Southern Hemisphere jump all over the title, with its clear Northern Hemisphere slant, don’t worry, I’ll be talking about the Southern Cross (Crux) as well.  There just wasn’t room in the title to fit in all of that.

5 Elements of Composition in Photography

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

Good Composition is a key element of good photographs yet is something that is hard to define.

Instead of looking at composition as a set of ‘rules’ to follow – I view it as a set of ingredients that can be taken out of the pantry at any point and used to make a great ‘meal’ [...]

Pay Attention to Foregrounds

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Photo by acampm1
Here’s a little ‘question’ for you to ask next time you’re out and about with our digital cameras.

Next time you’re taking a landscape or urban landscape shot pause before you hit the shutter and ask yourself:

6 Tips For Better Night Photos With A Point And Shoot Camera

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

4 Rules of Composition for Landscape Photography

Sunday, August 9th, 2009

While I’m not always a fan of sticking strictly to the ‘rules’ or ‘guidelines’ of photography I think they can be well worth knowing and keeping in the back of your mind as you shoot (whether it’s so you can follow them or break them for effect).

Sunday, July 26th, 2009
