Photography Quick Tip#4 – Get closer

Posted on | February 9, 2007 | No Comments

Get closer to your subject.

Once you have taken a picture from the viewpoint that you think is right, try getting closer and taking it again. You can do this by physically walking, or running if you feel the need just don’t drop your camera, closer to the subject or using your zoom lens and zooming in on the subject.

This fills the frame with more detail from the shot rather than the wider view and can help pick out certain details more effectively.

Getting really close may give your image a more abstract look where patterns and shapes make the image instead of a recognisable object.
