if you are one of those people {eehhumm, cough, cough…., my sisters…, ehum} who sees the words “photo friday” and just skims through the pictures….
first, stop that!
second, this week is a bit different and i need your help picking which landscapes (from the linker-uppers) to feature next week.
*go down through the links and then VOTE (ON SUNDAY) for your favorite post by clicking the little “like-thumbs up.”
thanks so much to all you voters and linkers~
ok, so like i said, today’s focus is on taking good landscape photos
here is the challenge from the two peas in a bucket online photography course lesson 10:
experiment with any of the 10 landscape tips below:
1. Use a wide angle lens (if you have one)–{nope, this newbie doesn’t own one}
2. Find a bird’s eye view–{again, nope}
3. Locate a focal point
4. Consider composition
5. Pay attention to the time of day
6. Play with shadows, silhouettes, and reflections —{didn’t get to this}
7. Use lines to lead the eye
8. Consider a city scene–{considered it, but nope}
9. Take a panoramic photo
10. Capture a nighttime scene–{not brave enough for this yet}
locate a focal point:
consider composition: (rule of thirds)
pay attention to the time of day:
 |
| you can almost feel the heat and humidity in this picture—yikes it was hot! |
use lines to draw the eyes:
 |
| don’t you just love that evening golden light? |
piece together a panoramic picture:
 |
| this is 5 pictures pieced together in Photoshop elements |
definitely not professional, but hey, it was my first real experimentation in the landscape world.
i’d love to see what you can do and what you can teach me!
1. link up your LANDSCAPE pictures by copying and pasting the url from the specific post (not your general blog address)
2. i’d love for you to add my button to the bottom of the post, but it’s not mandatory
3. go see all the other pictures that are linked
4. VOTE for your favorites pictures or for the best tips/tricks for landscape photos
YOU might be featured next week if i like your pictures best!
