This is day four of our great 7 day digital photography challenge. My mission today was to take at least 7 digital photographs that show “things we are able to do” with the theme of gratitude. This digital photograph is a great example of an activity that I glad that I can do. Ride my bike. Sounds simple doesn’t it? Something most people would take for granted, riding a bike. My focus today was on on of the simple things in life; easy to take for granted.
This photo is also a great example of giving depth to a photograph. Here’s a simple photo tip. When you want to add interest to a photograph, have a main subject in the foreground and another subject in the background. In this case it is the handle bars of my bike and the American flag in the background. the object in the backgound will usually be smaller because it is further away from the camera.
Here’s another tip. Any time you have red in the photograph, it will command attention. Be careful where you show red; it will overpower just about any scene.
So let’s concentrate on this idea for tomorrow. When you take a photograph, keep the subject very simple, Only one or two subjects/objects, with a simple background. that way you are conveying a simple message with little distraction.
So, 7 more digital photographs tomorrow. Our new theme will be “events” What events in your day are you grateful for?
I would really like to hear about your 7 day journey. Please post your comments here at the bottom of the page.
