Fun Angles!

Hello Friends,

One simple trick to make a photo interesting without using fancy gear is to simply turn the camera few degrees. In this shot, I turned the camera counter clockwise instead of just shooting stright on. What this does is create an interesting composition of the photo. When I saw the looks I wanted from the couple - click, and it was done.

Bonus tip: Get someone (friend or relative) to stand by the cake and take a few shots to get the right light readings for skin tones, and flash intensity. This will help you be ready for the only few precious seconds you will get to take one or two shots.

Have fun being creative in your composition and have fun! Marc - www.thedarkroomcafe.ca

Attention to the details...

Hello Everyone,

Today's tip is all about capturing those little details. Sometimes just catching a few of the small and important details from the day will catch the mood.

1. Find the subject: Look for things like cards, or favours that might have a significance, or just caught your eye.

2. Get close: Don't be afraid to get as close while keeping in focus.

3. Clean up the junk: If you can set up your object in on a chair, or get rid of napkins on the table, you will have a less distracting photo.

This photo was simply taken on a chair which worked as a seamless backdrop.

Wishing you beautiful shots! Marc - www.thedarkroomcafe.ca
