Composition is critical in an image, and with photography since we cannot arrange the components as we wish, it is that much more challenging. Then the "Light" factor comes into play. We all want that "Pow" in our image, to draw in the viewer's eye and to hold them there. In Nature we are at her mercy, we cannot control the elements we strive to capture, or that magical equation in an outstanding photo. So what to do?


 Get out there, in the wee hours before that magic light happens, keep a diligent eye out for shots in advance. Pre-visit the area to try and determine how the light will affect the scene, and then Hope! for the conditions that will give you the results you seek. For they may come only once in your lifetime, the magical way that golden hour light paints the scene, how the mist hangs in suspension at the exact level you want and how all the components of your scene, just fall into place. I will forever be grateful for that moment when it happened for us.

 But one of the most important factor is to have that special relationship with your gear, know how it reacts at those critical moments. Know how to manipulate it to respond and give you the image of your dreams. For this may never pass by you again! So Join us, on one of our very informative workshops, to feel in-tuned with your gear. Then seek out your dream shot!
