7 Tips For Better Photos in Your Own Backyard
Looking for new photo ops? How about your own backyard? In this premium video, Outdoor Photography Guide’s David Johnston gives you 7 tips for backyard shooting:
1. Use just one lens to narrow your choice of photo ops.
2. The “one subject” challenge, focusing on a flower, a tree, or an insect.
3. David suggests searching for repetition, for instance, a clump of wildflowers or forest fern patterns.
4. Use only low perspective, your camera angle low to the ground.
5. Try focusing on only shapes – ovals and angles.
6. Look for abstracts like water reflections.
7. Set a timer for how long you spend in one location.
