Tip number 2!
A "fill in" flash can do wonders.
Get to know how to set your flash to go on even during the day
when your automatic setting will prevent it. Otherwise shadows
will obscure the important parts of the photo.

Same person, same time, same place but
with a "fill in" flash. Also keep in mind the limitations
of your flash. Most in camera units have a maximum effective
range of only a few metres. |
|
Then sometimes purposely not using
a fill in flash can have a nice silhouette effect. The outline
of these sailors tells the story. |
|
Look for a perspective that adds to
what you want the viewer to see. This photo was at a regatta
where the wind dropped out and the water was flat so I got the
camera right down to the water level and caught the reflection
of the sail below to emphasise how quiet it was.
I really liked this one.
Water level shots can add interest to
a variety of occasions. |

People shots can be the toughest. Wendy
of "Absolutely" is a natural portrait photographer
and caught this nice shot that seems to reveal something about
the people and their relationship. |
|
Boating life.... Photos that show the environment
we live in and day to day experiences can be most satisfying.
Norm of "Peggy Anne" has a good eye for these kinds
of shots. |
