Seeing the picture in the picture

2. September 2009 by Friedhelm.

On of the most important task of every photographer is seeing the picture in the picture and making what you see visible to the rest of the world. This is an image that I took on my regular morning exercise walk. I always take a camera and one lens with me! Currently I am photographing with an old Sigma 15-30 lens. The limitation of using only one lens forces you to be creative. It forces you to move around and change position rather than changing lenses. After you get an image the post processing starts. You need to crop creatively if necessary and you need to post process your image. Here you can and should get creative and experiment. Never forget to have fun and enjoy your images. Unless you do some commercial work the only person who has to like the image is you, nobody else. That is tremendously freeing!
