Friday's Tip

Tip 7:

Make use of shapes;

* interesting shapes can create powerful composition

Tip 8:

Photograph translucent objects:

* leaves, flowers, anything that lets in light

* photograph unusual images using the light box

* effect of the final image can be improved by adding another light source (soft box)

* edit in Photoshop to create scientific images

Tip 9:

Photograph food:

* shapes, textures, patterns and colour

* use simple light

* use exposure compensation

Tip 10:

Take an abstract approach:

* focus on the patterns and texture

* keep lighting simple

Tip 11:

Close-up photography:

* choose unusual viewpoint so that the object is not clearly identified

Tip 12:

Mix transmitted and reflected light

* glass and water both reflect and transmit light which can create subtle tones and textures

* transmitted light; place a glass object in front of a strongly lit white background or use a translucent white material like a tracing paper lit from the behind to create subtle tone

* multi-facet objects can produce a variety of effects by changing the background lighting

* photograph glass by using diffused light from the front of the set-up, such as soft box or a light bounced from a white reflector. This will reveal reflective qualities of a glass

Tip 13:

Look for ready made still life:

* pattern in the fruit at a market stall

* colours

* patterns

* composition

* for sharper pictures, use tripod

Tip 14:

Create design with colour:

* choose background colours in harmony

* choose opposite colours

* add props to create interesting still life

* create a mood by changing the white balance
