Photography Challenge – Click Color Capture – Week 4 Green

The photography challenge for Click Color Capture Week 4 is the color green. Normally, there is a ton of green outside my rural Vermont home.  February is not the best time to find green so I needed to do a bit of searching. Most of our grass is brown right now and normally it would still be underneath the snow.  We have a few sad looking green patches here and there but they really don’t make for very good pictures. I took a short wander through the woods in our back yard in search of some green inspiration for this photography challenge and I came across a big rock covered with some pretty green moss.

Photography Challenge – Green

This week’s photography tips comes from Emily Anderson of Emily Anderson Photography.  Emily has been photographing children and families in the Northeast Arkansas area for several years.

Don’t forget the details. Include more than just one image of the overall view. A wide shot of the entire object or scene may be necessary, but you can make it more interesting by including detail shots too. Take a close up of an interesting button on a sewing project or one corner of the cake you baked, showing the texture of the icing. It can be very tempting to snap one or two images when you are in a hurry to get them uploaded to the computer for a blog or Facebook post, but challenge yourself to take several different images. This also applies to photographing people. Think about what details tell the story – wrinkled hands, grass-stained jeans, flip-flop tan lines, etc. You may find that you can take several different images in a row before you run out of ideas. Don’t give up then. Keep shooting. That’s when you turn on your creativity.
