Don't forget to overexpose your
snow shots. The meter thinks
the world is gray so will close down
the aperture too much or choose
a shutter speed that is too fast.
Take control and tell your meter
you're the boss. Use the exposure
compensation button and dial in
+1 for a brighter shot. Who wants
gray snow?

Photo classes Vancouver

At my photo class on Granville Island
Hugh Davies took this very good photo
of me on my bike. 1/8 second with panning.
More classes in basic digital photography start
in January and again in February and March
at several community centres in Vancouver.

Globe and Mail photo tips

check out the Globe and Mail's photo tips.
It's very good with tips from the paper's
photojournalists.

Framing a subject

Use a frame within the frame. Shoot past some

objects to provide a frame for the main subject.

I just opened a group of framed photos on my flickr

site.http://www.flickr.com/photos/65064014@N00/

How to use a wide angle lens:
Get very close to something so you have
a large foreground subject. Use a small
aperture like f16 to make sure everything
is in focus from near to far.

I like to find a nice S curve. It creates
a graceful line that leads the eye into
the picture and gives it depth. This
shot was from the Cambie Bridge with
a short telephoto lens, which compresses
the space and eliminates distracting elements.
The image was marketed in the USA for
publishing by AGE Fotostock, Barcelona.
