We’ve got another compositional challenge for you today. While a “flipped” photograph might not seem flipped the first moment you view it, you’ll soon realize that something just isn’t right about the image. It’ll usually take a second or two to catch up and realize that the photo you’re looking at isn’t actually a reflection […]

In my opinion, one of the best and easiest ways to make regular photos come alive is to extend the exposure time of your camera. You could have 100 photographers take a normal photo of the same thing and you’d be left with 100 identical photos. If you had each photographer increase their camera’s shutter […]

Tracking subjects, or “Panning,” as it’s known, is a photography technique that’s extremely popular, but not widely successful the first few times a budding or amateur photo enthusiast tries it out. It takes a lot of practice to get a nice shot, but once you get the hang of it, it’s as easy as pie. […]

In the previous photography challenge, we tried to make the subjects of our photos look as they would in the real world.

Aperture Priority mode is one of the most fun camera settings available. There are only a few settings, but this is definitely one of the most fun ones. It offers the photographer an enormous amount of flexibility and creativity when shooting by giving the option of either blurring certain areas of a scene or keeping […]

Camera lenses warp photos. Even if you don’t notice it, almost every lens out there will warp a photo. Wide angle lens warping is the most pronounced. If you take your wide angle lens out for some cityscape shots or photos of buildings, those buildings will almost certainly be leaning inward. That’s just the way […]

This is actually a very good question and it’s one I hear a lot. Budding photographers want to know if, after setting a specific aperture size, they can preview the depth of field that will appear in the photograph they take. Even if a specific aperture setting isn’t made and the camera is in another […]

Negative space is about what isn’t. It’s about what doesn’t attract attention. It’s something other than the subject. It’s the place someone would look at last in a photograph. If the subject of an image is considered positive space, then everything else can be considered negative space. When photographs feature lots of negative space, they’ve […]
