Photo workshop

garden photography students

I was really fun to learn how to run San Francisco botanical garden garden photography workshops.? Each class has become a lesson on a specific theme.

? You can also learn by giving you a posting something to work on - and just to do.For example "focal points".Ici SFBG, Japanese lanterns as an element, we use a focus to attract the eye in the composition.?

Review a picture can be really useful find elements that help to the attention of the Viewer on the image and examine what story you are trying to say.? It did not necessarily need to be an object, it can be for example a fat plant, but something in the photo must be the key to understanding.

Hand in hand with the focal points is "frame", another lesson that we use.? I actually stumbled on this lesson that I've watched students (first photo) and noted that the tree was a key element to help define the focal point.

Consider this next scene in the South African collection at the San Francisco botanical garden.

? The bold, variegated aloe that begin its winter flower is a gripping attention évidentes.Mais too often we are struck by the exciting potential of a garden photo but deal too loose.Here, the point of contact is not well encadré.et there is a tree stand out from the upper part of photography.?

Consider a moment what the story is and all the elements of the work of composition for you.

By using the background shapes to anchor the corners arriving more stringent, Aloe is framed and the eye wants to stay in the photograph.

Another classical composition tool is "lines".Often track and walls offer the photographer some simple tools that draw the viewer in and through the photo linking elements in an image.

Here, the only way between these two sections of the succulent garden SFBG tracks to connect the left and right sides and extract the eye in the focus point is the beautiful grey agave.Note elements as part of the scene: the line of the agave, group on the left and the explosion little forms in the upper right corner.

All these tools hold together the picture while the line draw you in the focal point.

Used in this way, lines not only attract the eye in the picture, they carry the eye of the composition.

In this photo, a student to work using the camera for the scene before it moves the tripod in place.(You going use the tripod right, Angela?)Note There are several steps lignes.Les track to eye top to bottom, while the bromeliad and lead Aloe, line from left to right - directly to the focal point of the photographer.

Hmmm.... wonderful rose against warm color in her scarf helps this composition as. perhaps my next lesson will be the color as a composition tool.

Whether or not you can access a workshop, there are several ways to improve your photographie.Expérience is by far the best teacher and you learn by the pratique.Vous something at work - and go.
