Photo Friday – Looking For The Little

by | Jul 24, 2014 | Diane's Posts

I’m writing to you from the road as Doc and I drive from Alabama to New York and back to Alabama again.  I have found several stories to share about  how to be a better photographer – from lighthouses to the Wright brothers first flight. The tip that has been going through my mind this week as I have been photographing, and thought of you is, “look for the little.”

 

When you take a picture, you want that picture to tell a story. It is best done when you look for the little details. Small details like, “What did the child see?” “What did the mouse see?” It is easy to take a picture that show an entire landscape, but then, show the small things going on in the large picture.  Look for the little in the big.

_MG_8680   A cobweb in a tree is not as interesting as a  tight cropped picture of a cobweb heavy with morning dew.

 

See?  Look for the Little stories in the big story.
