Tips for Making Your Summer Vacation Pictures GREAT
Written by Sherry on June 28th, 2010
1) Make each picture have a clear subject or theme; let the photograph tell a story
2) Give emphasis to your subject; focus the attention of the viewer to the subject
in the photograph:
* Allow the subject of the photograph to fill the frame, OR
* Make the photograph more interesting by placing the subject off to
one side (approx. 1/3 to the side)
* Find a way to frame your subject; trees, arches, windows, etc. can be
great framing tools. The example is a picture that I took last year at the Phoenix Botanical Gardens
Chihuly Exhibit
* Give your (people) subjects something to do with their hands; move away from the traditional hands
at the side pose
3) Simplify each photo; eliminate distractions that will take the focus away from the subject, i.e., trash cans, signs, people, cars
