My first introduction to digital photography was tonight and it was amazing! I am really looking forward to diving in deeper to a hobby/interest that I have had for a long time. Top 11 things I learned tonight:
11. Don't always center.
10. Sometimes center...sometimes you just gotta break the rules!
9. Less is more, simplicity. Include only the elements that are intended.
8. Use natural lines. Remember you are drawing the viewer to where you want them to look.
7. Use natural light. Try your best not to use the flash!!
6. Make everything count. Be aware of the background and setting.
5. Explore composition. Be thoughtful of angles and perspectives when thinking where to stand.
4. Focus.
3. Careful cropping.
2. Be patient. Wait for the right moment.
1. Get closer. "If your picture is not good, you're not close enough."
Can't wait to share more with you...
