Top Tips for Photographers -
I opened another photo from the Getty photography collection; the Austrian embassy in Paris from 1910. Will and I explored the photo to identify the subject and the frame. We talked about light source and vantage point. We then looked at Kodak’s list of Top Ten Tips for Photographers, and chose two upon which to concentrate. Tip one shows how coming down to eye level improves an image. The list shows images of a dog, one from normal human height, and one down at dog eye level; and the dog was much more impressive from dog height. The second tip suggests using a vertical view to add to the height of the subject. Homework: take a dozen or so photographs, using the horizontal and vertical frames. Think about subject, frame, focus, vantage point, and light source.
