photography tip friday.....

move yourself

~

the photo above is right out of the camera {sooc} and was taken after i shot the one below and realized the side of the chair next to me was right smack dab in the middle of my photo.

if this had been the only photo i had taken, i would have cropped the chair out of the photo and been left with just a lady and her newspaper without any depth what so ever.

but 

with every tip, just like art, it's all in the eye of the beholder. 

there will be some of you who like the chair in the photo and the fact that you can see the art hung on the back wall and that's perfectly okay and i can't say that that's wrong. 

for me though, in the bottom photo, my eye goes right to the chair and that's not what i had intended to be my focal point. 

don't you love the fact that with photography we can do what we like to do and love what we love and if there are rules to follow, the sky won't come crashing down on us when we don't.

~

so tell me, just for kicks, what photo do you like best.
