Practical photo tips for you:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Repeating patterns, contrasting colors<\/h2>\n

Get close to whatever you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re shooting and fill the frame with repeating forms, yet contrasting colors.<\/p>\n

For example this colorful bunch of flowers with Gaussian Blur:<\/p>\n

Or these chili peppers:<\/p>\n

2. Black and red<\/h2>\n

\"20190309-eric<\/p>\n

Black and red seem to make a very strong color combination:<\/p>\n

3. Shoot your food with flash<\/h2>\n

I think natural light food photos are overrated. Go gritty by shooting positive film JPEG (Max contrast and saturation) on RICOH GR II with flash. Super juicy colors, and impactful photos.<\/p>\n

4. Minus exposure compensation street photography<\/h2>\n

\"20190309-eric<\/p>\n

Find bright colors and shoot your camera -1 or -2 exposure compensation and have a shadow or silhouetted person enter the frame for a more dramatic picture.<\/p>\n

\"20190310-eric <\/a> <\/div>

5. Shoot scenes with and without hands<\/h2>\n
\"20190308-eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"20190308-eric <\/a> <\/div>
\"20190308-eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Work the scene \u00e2\u20ac\u201d some photos include hands, other photos don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t show hands.<\/p>\n

\"20190308-eric\"20190308-eric\"20190308-eric<\/p>\n

Later, choose the photos you prefer the best.<\/p>\n

Or if you have nothing to shoot, just photograph your own hand!<\/p>\n

\"20190310-eric\"20190308-eric<\/p>\n

6. Shoot in alley ways<\/h2>\n

\"20190309-eric<\/p>\n

Whenever I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m walking down a main street, and I see a small side street or alleyway, I always go inside. Why? 99% of the time there are so many more interesting things to shoot in there.<\/p>\n

\"20190309-eric<\/p>\n

Generally the more uncommon the place or space, the better the opportunity to make more interesting photos!<\/p>\n

\"20190309-eric<\/p>\n

7. Fill the frame with people<\/h2>\n

\"20190310-eric<\/p>\n

Go to crowded public events, and try to fill the frame with lots of people, faces, hand gestures, and movements. Even better if the background has a face on it too!<\/p>\n

8. Photograph graffiti<\/h2>\n

\"20190226-eric <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Shoot graffiti on the wall. There are tons of great colors, textures, shapes, forms, grain, grit, and soul to capture!<\/p>\n

9. See the world in monochrome<\/h2>\n

Experiment with JPEG only monochrome, or put your camera to monochrome preview, to practice seeing the world in monochrome! Transform your world.<\/p>\n
