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
