Blending In
The pine trees planted in perfectly straight rows at the back of this field caught my attention and I thought they would make a nice backdrop. Then I noticed the big tree on the right side of the field. It was blending in too much with the other trees in the first shot and I wanted to isolate it.
1/8 sec. f/11 ISO 100
This was a situation where a zoom lens alone wasn't going to accomplish what I wanted. A simple change of position, however, did the trick. My point? I don't really have one other than don't always take all of your photos from one spot.

Today's Tip:
Don't forget about your flash when shooting outside. Provided your subject is in range, a flash can eliminate harsh shadows and lighten those dark areas.

1/320 sec. f/2.8 ISO 200
1/160 sec. f/9 ISO 400
1/125 sec. f/2.8 ISO 200
Today's Tip:
Shorter focal length lenses provide greater depth of field at a given f stop than longer lenses. For example, a 24mm lens at f/8 will have greater depth of field than a 300mm lens at f/8.

Today's Tip:
Generally speaking, getting physically closer to your subject is preferable to doing so optically. Naturally, there are exceptions.
