When it comes to taking your work to the next
level, sometimes you need an edge.  Often
little things make the biggest difference. 
Like the frosting on the cake; this article covers little things that can dramatically improve your photography.

 One of my
first award winning photographs was a photo with a waterfall in the background
and a stream leading from its base right into the foreground.  I was standing in the middle of the stream at
a fairly low angle, but what made this photo unique was that I had also managed
to capture several stars reflecting off the water.  I admit it; it was pure luck, but with so
many people impressed by those little stars . . . I started looking for ways to
be able to do that whenever I wanted. 
That was when I first started exploring the world of photo filters.

We all have things we like to photograph the
best. To stretch your imagination and creativity sometimes you NEED to shoot
different things.  Just because you shoot
different things, doesn’t mean you have to shoot things . . . different. 

We all do it at one point or another.  We like taking photos of nature (for
example), so we take more and more photos of nature, and tend over look other
areas of photography.  Then one day,
someone calls up and says, “Hey, we were talking the other day about you doing
photography.  I think I have some extra
work for you, are you interested??

At one time or another, most of us have seen a
close-up of something that was made to make us think it was actually something
else.  Why did we not recognize the item for what it truly was? 
Simply put, you had nothing to compare it to. 
You had no point of reference. 

Take a waterfall, tall and beautiful.  Now visualize
a small stream trickling over the edge of a few large stones.  If you
shoot it just right, they could look the same.  “Wait a minute,? you’re
saying, “those are as different as night and day.? That’s a good point,
but unless you also include something to compare the water to, you have no
point of reference.  This concept is
generally referred to as opposition.

It is not a big secret that all photos are made
of light.  What to do with that light on
the other hand, often confuses many beginning photographers.  The goal here is to help you see that light
in a much simpler way.
