People pictures fall into two categories.
Portraits and candid. Either can be made with
or without your subject's awareness and
cooperation. The most common mistake made
by photographers is that they are not physically
close enough to their subjects. In some cases
this means that the center of interest—the
subject—is just a speck, too small to have any
impact. The settings in which you make
pictures of people are important because they
add to the viewer's understanding of your
subject. The room in which a person lives or
works, their house, the city street they walk, the
place in which they seek relaxation—whatever
it is, the setting provides information about
people and tells us something about their lives.
A great deal of people photography is
understanding human nature and being aware
of how people usually react in given situations.
If someone is sitting in a café he will usually look
up when the waiter approaches. Think about
the situation you are photographing and how
people are likely to act in it. Then prepare
yourself for the moment. Children are full of
expressions and creativity. Try to capture
everyday things but rather than asking your
child to pose, let them have fun and do their
usual thing. Innocence is one of the things we
associate with childhood – why not capture
this? It could be an innocent expression or a
moment of childish fun. Let the child play, or
perhaps talk to them about something that
makes them think.

Tips for shooting wide angle
what is wide-angle? Simply put, it is any focal
length equivalent to 35mm or less on a full
frame camera. Wide-angle lenses come in
fixed-focal lengths (14, 18, 20, 24, and 28mm
are common fixed-focal lengths) and in zooms,
such as Nikon’s 12-24mm or Canon’s 16-
35mm.
following are tips to try out when shooting with
a wide-angle lens.
1) Avoid Distortion: Wide-angle lenses can
be good at keeping vertical and horizontal lines
straight, but only when the camera is pointed
straight ahead. Any slight downward or upward
angle can result in distorted lines, particularly
along the edges. Keeping the camera level
with the horizon, and perpendicular, will provide
nice, straight lines that require little or no
correction in post processing.
2) Use Distortion: There are times, however,
when some distortion can add to the photo, so
try moving the lens about and seeing how it
affects the lines along the edges or distorts
objects in the foreground. This is very
subjective, of course, and not everyone will like
the results. I personally prefer to do this very
subtly as I’m not trying to mimic a fisheye lens.
3) An Interesting Foreground: As wide-
angle lenses capture more of the scene, it is a
good idea to make sure there is something
interesting in the foreground for the viewer to
look at. This is particularly true of landscape
photography. Otherwise there may be too
much empty space in the photo and the image
can become boring and leave the viewer’s eye
wondering, looking for a focal point.
4) Take advantage of the sky: Similar to
using an interesting foreground, if you have a
beautiful sky, you can also use the wide-angle
to take advantage of it. Fill 1/3 to 1/2 of your
frame with the sky and the wide-angle will
accentuate it because of the added sense of
depth that these lenses create. Of course, the
foreground still needs to be interesting; you
can just have less of it in this case.
5) Use Leading Lines: As wide-angle lenses
capture so much of the scene, it is often easy
to lose track of what one is looking at in the
resulting photo. This being the case, leading
lines can be used to draw in the viewer. As
wide-angle lenses exaggerate the sense of
scale, this can also add to the power of the
lines. Training yourself to look for lines and
using them in your photos with a wide-angle
lens can help you create more dramatic
images.
6 Shoot Low: Shooting low, you can include
much of the ground in front of you to guide you
up to the subject. Whether a garden or a
fountain or an intriguingly cracked road,
shooting low can provide an interesting subject
that can lead the viewer back to the horizon.
Because of the extreme width you are using,
you can shoot from very low, close-to-the-
ground angles and still fit tall subjects and skies
into the frame.
7) Frame the shot: Wide-angle lenses can be
used to frame subjects in interesting ways. This
can include capturing subjects within whole
doorframes or windows, for instance, or finding
other interesting ways that can frame your shot.
You may not even notice some of the
possibilities until you look through the
viewfinder and see the world as the wide-angle
lens sees it.
8) Keep people out of the corner: Wide-
angle lenses distort the most in the corners, so
someone in the corner of a photo becomes
noticeably distorted. This is particularly true
with shorter focal lengths (15mm can distort
more than 30mm). In general, always keep
people near the center of your frame when
shooting wide-angle. Otherwise, they can
appear shorter and wider than they are, which
is not a good look.
9) Shoot Vertical: There is a tendency when
shooting wide-angle to shoot horizontal, but
interesting results can occur when shooting
vertically. Tall buildings can be captured in their
entirety, for instance, or a feet-to-sky
perspective can be achieved. All the concerns
mentioned above still need to be considered,
especially distorting vertical lines along the
edge of your frame, but the results can be quite
striking.

Photography Simplified...
The eyes have been called the “windows to the soul.” “Nothing could be closer to the truth for portrait
photography. You could have the perfect composition and exposure, but if the eyes aren't sharp, the entire
image suffers. Seeing eye-to-eye is a great way to make your portraits convey more of the connection you
established with the subject.
It starts with the photographer making a distinct effort to connect with the subject so they are at ease with the
image-making process. This can often include advance research on your portrait subject and his or her
interests. it doesn't take talent to capture a solid portrait. It takes skill and the motivation necessary to master
those skills. Portrait photography can be dealt with as an equation; with just a set of rules and guidelines, it's
possible to take jaw dropping, natural light portraits.
People tend to forget that a portrait without a real expression does not connect to the viewer. Humankind wants
to see genuine emotion and not a posed, cheesy smile. This is more important than location, light and expensive
gear. Photographer here has chosen the subject very nicely the subject has a character the viewer can feel the
connection here that photographer has with the subject.
“A portrait is not made in the camera but on the either side of it”

We've all had the experience: Driving through a beautiful landscape, you stop at every scenic
overlook to make photographs sure to capture the grandeur of what you see. When we look at a
landscape, our eyes travel over it and selectively focus on the elements that we find appealing.
Time is the most important investment you can make in getting good landscape pictures. When
you arrive in a place you've never visited before, spend time scouting—driving or hiking to
different locations, finding different vantage points. This can take some practice because you
also have to look at where the light will not be falling.
For example, you might see that the west wall will be beautifully lit in the early morning, if the canyon is deep, however, the east wall will be in such
complete shadow that your camera will be capable of rendering it only as a great black blob. Unless this is the effect you want, you'll either have to
modify your composition, shoot it later in the day, or plan to return on an overcast day when both sides will be photographable.
Photographing forests presents a different set of challenges. First, think about the character of the forest you want to shoot and the feeling you want to
convey in your image. Should it feel dark and brooding, or light and airy.
As with any photograph, find a point of interest. It might be one slightly different tree trunk, a path winding through, or a splash of color on a flowering
vine. Whatever it is, compose in such a way to lead the viewer to it. Look for shafts of light penetrating the canopy or one spot on the forest floor directly
lit by the sun.
Whether you are shooting toward a forest or shooting from inside it, look for patterns, lines, and other compositional elements you can use. Try both
wide and telephoto lenses. A wide lens looking up at the trees will make them soar; a telephoto will compress a row of trunks. Lie down and look
straight up through the branches; climb a tree to look down the path.
“It is the photographer, not the camera,
that is the instrument.”
Eve Arnold
Landscape photography is a form of landscape art.
Landscapes may be a popular subject among photographers, but it takes a lot of mastery,
patience, and a certain frame of mind to capture imagery that will really stir the viewers' emotions
and mind.
When you are taking a landscape photograph, try creating a sense of depth by keeping all the
different elements of the image in focus.
To get to the most obscure landscapes, you have to go where there is nothing to guide you. To
find such a landscape, it is all but necessary to be in a wild location.
Painters work by continually applying brush strokes until their piece is complete. This additive process is actually quite different from how
photographers compose images.
Through the lens, we're tasked to remove any unnecessary elements in order to best express our vision, a method of subtraction that may seem
counterintuitive at first.
As Paulo Coelho said, “Elegance is achieved when all that is superfluous has been discarded and the human being discovers simplicity and
concentration: the simpler and more sober the posture, the more beautiful it will be.”

Photo Review
This month. That Year
The Blue Marble is a photograph of the Earth, taken on
December 7, 1972, by the crew of the Apollo 17
spacecraft, at a distance of about 45,000 kilometres. It is
one of the most reproduced images in human history.
This was the first time the Apollo trajectory made it possible
to photograph the south polar ice cap, despite the
Southern Hemisphere being heavily covered in clouds.
The photograph was taken about 5 hours and 6 minutes
after launch of the Apollo 17 mission, and about 1 hour 54
minutes after the spacecraft left its parking orbit around the
Earth, to begin its trajectory to the Moon.
The photographer used a 70-millimeter Hasselblad camera
with an 80-millimeter Zeiss lens. NASA credits the image to
the entire Apollo 17 crew—Eugene Cernan, Ronald Evans
and Jack Schmitt—all of whom took photographs during
the mission with the on-board Hasselblad, although
evidence examined after the mission suggests that Jack
Schmitt was the photographer.
Apollo 17 was the last manned lunar mission. No human
since has been far enough from Earth to photograph a
whole-Earth image such as The Blue Marble, but whole-
Earth images have been taken by many unmanned
spacecraft missions.
