Photo tip: less is more



We don't need to see the whole building.
It's more interesting to see the lines of part of
the facade. I like the play of light on the vertical lines.
Do we have to know what it is?

Photo tip: shooting stock photos


Another stock photo sold in Germany by AGE Fotostock.
Sometimes just shooting whatever is nearby and
right under your nose is a good idea. My daughter
had her dance outfit on, and my studio was set up
so I had her jump and do other poses. I got a lot
of photos in a short time and it didn't cost me a dime,
but only some time.

Photo tip: Photographing the garbage



I was walking my dog in the alley and spotted a box full of
computer circuit boards by a dumpster. I took them home
and went to work with my lights and macro lens. Yes,
photography is easy. Just push the button. But it's still about
selecting what to show and how to show it. It was fun
and it represents my photographic push-ups, keeping my eyes
in shape for the next photo.
