Playing with light
26. January 2009 by Friedhelm.
Yesterday David pointed out the importance of the background. The background makes or breaks a picture and one of my photography teachers pointed out that he considers the background first.
During my last visit to Carmel, CA I saw this small tree with incredible colored leaves. I photographed them a few times then I noticed that there was a store behind the tree with insight lights. I decided to use the lights as part of my background. I opened my lens as much as possible to blur the lights and photographed the leaves. The background lights added a nice touch to the leaves.
Happy Shooting!
