Are you creating a portfolio of acceptable rather than inspiring images? Are you finding it hard to properly tune in, by exploring your locations and getting the very best images?<\/p>\n<p>Out in the field, photographic decision making can make or break an image, so it\u2019s best to know as many different ways of approaching the subject as possible. Throw your arms wide and soak in the huge vista, but end the study with the smallest of flowers, all taken within a few feet of each other.<\/p>\n<p>Learn to see, to spot variety and capture this through a combination of camera positions, ratios and perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>Since the dawn of photography in the mid 1800\u2019s, we have been trying to place everything we see inside the boundaries of a perpendicular frame. Let us compare this process to a painter, who builds the idea across a canvas.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, the surface is washed with a mid tone, layers of paint are applied to develop features. Shapes begin to appear; light gives these shapes dimension, as detail begins to emerge through colour and form. Painting is about observing the subject and building the image, yet for the photographer the process works somewhat in reverse.<\/p>\n<p>With the camera held to the eye, the canvas is complete, the painting is finished. It is a process of compositional deconstruction that creates the successful image \u2013 \u2018I am at the wrong height\u2019, \u2018the camera needs to tip forwards\u2019, \u2018the perspective should be wider\u2019, \u2018I am standing in completely the wrong place\u2019 \u2013 learn to move around the subject looking at every detail, the edges of the frame, searching the scene to create a sense of balance, whilst tuning into our emotional responses.<\/p>\n<p>With those distractions and energies now balanced, all it takes is some magical light.<\/p>\n\t\t<div  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 287px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148856\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/dartmoor_holwell_lawn_09-copy-267x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Never forget those all-important detail shots<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p><strong>Add variety<\/strong><br \/>\nAlongside fully exploring the immediate surroundings, the best advice I can give when approaching a subject is this \u2013 landscape, portrait, panorama, detail. Think about every possible orientation and see if all four criteria can be captured from wherever you are.<\/p>\n<p>This will drive you onwards to search for image diversity. This may appear initially unachievable, yet by working hard to capture them all, you will grow as a photographer and begin to understand the value of this relentless pursuit. Initially, one particular orientation or vantage point may appear more obvious than the rest, with a few of the four perspectives unobtainable.<\/p>\n<p>Yet by attempting to satisfy this simple rule of diversity, the results will become progressive, and the camera positioning will naturally change as you learn to see new perspectives. Remember, the true value of these field decisions is revealed later, when critiquing the shoot back in the photographic studio.<\/p>\n<p>What you may have initially considered are the best images may not the best and you will be glad you experimented with diversity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A change of ratio<\/strong><br \/>\nImagine how dreary music would sound if every creation was written in the same time signature and played at the same speed. Photographers have an inherent fear of changing ratio, preferring to force everything into a rather conventional 3:2, instead of experimenting with the score.<\/p>\n<p>A lover of aspect ratios, I long for the day that my high-megapixel digital cameras will all have their own \u2018ratio mode\u2019, so I can input my own values and create a system of in-camera cropping. Alter the ratio in-camera to 1:1, 4:3 and 16:9 \u2013 they are all glorious to work with.<\/p>\n<p>This is so much easier with mirrorless cameras, yet still most photographers usually cram everything into 3:2. Try waltzing through the landscape. Successful photography is certainly not a stiff march!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Move<\/strong><br \/>\nPut down the bag and tripod, observe your surroundings and explore, without taking another a step. Try to spot where to shoot from, where to shoot next and imagine the image you will take before unzipping the bag.<\/p>\n<p>Think wideangle, think longer lens and as you notice flowers, rocks or patterns, ask yourself which lenses you need. This is the beauty of spontaneous planning. All of the online research in the world cannot beat exploring a location with your own eyes \u2013 get ahead of the rest by absorbing your thoughts in quality ideas.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\n\t\t<div  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148850\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/dartmoor_holwell_lawn_17-copy-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Bluebells and a hawthorn tree at Holwell Lawn on Dartmoor, Devon, England<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Why this image works<\/h2>\n<p>Visiting locations on multiple occasions helps understand its potential. This open field of bluebells remains a favoured springtime location.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you consider the excessive use of negative space, the result still feels joyous, simply because of the symmetry and the sheer fact that this is such an unlikely find. If you compare the panorama to the image below, it seems far less impactful and \u2018everyday\u2019 with the rule of thirds tree and cloud.<\/p>\n<p>The problem here is that the camera position is almost too close, and the airy wide-open feel is lost. It may surprise you to know that this image was taken around 12pm, when the light was at its hardest. Look at the position of the shadow under the tree. Spring landscapes can work at any time of day.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Five steps towards more creative composition<\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148851 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/wilts_rape_avebury_01-copy-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>This first image was spotted from the road. Although the initial idea was to take images with front-to-back sharpness, gusting wind unlocked the concept of movement, which was accentuated by using neutral density filters, a 3-stop and polariser placed together to reduce the shutter speed to a second at f\/22.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148852 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/wilts_rape_avebury_02-COVERSHOT-267x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Now a vertical composition is chosen with excess space at the top of the frame. This was designed specifically to give cropping options and increase commercial appeal to the image with extra spacing for editorial clients. It is possible to create a square crop, a 5&#215;4 crop as well as the standard 3:2.<\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148853 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/wilts_rape_vale_of_pewsey_01-copy-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>Walking up the hill and into the edge of the field along tractor lines, gave the picture a more dynamic appeal. This is accentuated by the use of lead-in lines. The camera is positioned high to make the lines stand out. A lower perspective would have seen them somewhat lost.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148854 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/wilts_rape_vale_of_pewsey_pano_02-copy-630x206.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"206\" \/>\n<p>Continuing up the field, past the trees to another hilltop copse, created the strongest shot of the day. This panorama contains it all \u2013 colour, sidelight and textures. Standing on the edge of the field, the image is divided in two by the yellows and greens, the trunks providing energy and shaping.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"148855 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/flower_rape_seed_01-copy-267x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>Finally, an all-important detail. The use of a 50mm lens and extension rings gave a wonderful intimacy to this often wiry and unpredictable flower. Note the small fly sat on the top \u2013 this was a detail that was unnoticed at the time, but just look at how glorious those colours are.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Further reading<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/technique\/landscape_photography-technique\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Landscape photography tips<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/apoy2021\/apoy-round-4-is-open-landscapes-148020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Landscape round of APOY now open<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Landscape pro and RPS assessor David Clapp explains his approach when it comes to exploring and capturing a location in a unique way<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":148850,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"product-category":[],"class_list":["post-148848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-photo-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.8 (Yoast SEO v26.8) -
