Sometimes you have to look deeper to find interesting things to photograph. This just appears to be a shed, but I found it really fascinating. How it was placed in the middle of nowhere, and the curiosity of whats inside? I also liked the compass on top of the shed.

where are the army men now?

My brother always finds an interesting place to line up his toy army men: In the fridge, on the couch, the kitchen table, his bed, and the deck. For my 4-H photography project I had to take pictures of objects in focus and out of focus. I also had to make objects in the front appear blurry, and the back objects more sharp. This task can be very difficult, but I managed to capture it in this photo.

The camera is off center, and the picture appears to be "lop-sided". Sometimes, pictures are ment to be off center, but in this case it doesn't work. I liked the sky in the background and how you can tell it is windy, and about to rain.

4. Underexpose your shots slightly

FALL



I love Autumn photography, but sometimes it can be hard to capture. So what are some tips of capturing the beautiful colors?
  1. 1. Shoot in the golden hours.
  2. - shoot at the end of the day just before sunset when the light is golden. This accentuates the reds and golds even more than normal.
  3. 2. Look for contrasts
  4. -Think about framing your shots in such a way that the different colors contrast with eachother.
  5. 3. Avoid shooting into the sun
  6. -Shooting into the sun will will result in shadows, lower saturation, and lens flare.
