Wednesday Wisdom


Wednesday Wisdom: So some of you have inquired about how to make your pictures even better. Although I am not all-knowing, I have a learned a little about what makes a good photo that I am more than happy to share. So every

Wednesday I will put up another tip to help you make better photos.

Tip #1: Avoid standing in line.
No, this doesn't mean you should stop visiting Wal-Mart at 9:00 on a Saturday night (when no one is working and there is only one line open -- grr!!) but rather watch to ensure that your subject's heads are at different levels. Think of your subjects' heads as notes on a scale -- does your picture sing a lovely melody or is it more monotone? Try to encourage the viewer's eye to move through the picture and then start again -- looking at each person's face one more time. Here is an example of what to do and what not to do... See if you agree. Thanks and see you next week.
