Seeing the Fun & Creativity

By James Hardens


Evening Photography

With night photography, you'll discover an ideal opportunity to shoot adventurous photographs. Whether you choose to take light trails of the stars using longer exposure times or pursue fireflies that illuminate your pathway, details spark to life at night. With these lights of imagination, you can ignite your creativity far into to morning hours.

Although some photographers are naturally nocturnal, most are not. But, unless you venture out for the evening, you may never discover which you are. Especially when it comes to the eye for night photography, you may find you have a knack for creating evening magic. To increase your chances of capturing those bursts of spontaneity, set your aperture to priority mode so you only need select your focal length on que.

Bright Sunny Days

During cloud-dotted, bright blue skies, you may find the inspiration you need from watching shapes take form and dissipate with the wind. Visiting a nearby park can often allow you the larger view that you need, and in the end, give way to some of the still life that is available there. (Watch out for the exciting motion of life, too)!

If spring is in the air, you may capture incredible blooming opportunities from radiant flowers. Or, with the lengthening of daylight, find that the dazzling display of color prompts excellence and emotion that you never anticipated. In this case, fluffy clouds become the reflection of those brilliant colors softened to warm, muted beauty.

Creating Your Own Adventure

The next time you think you're bored, venture out for the evening with your camera. As you walk along the street, you will be overcome by the interesting subjects that seem to cross your path or the finest of details that have been so long overlooked. Here is your chance to experiment with setting adjustments that you've never had time to play with before. With any scene, you can change the depth of field by moving it almost to the horizon and expand your range of clarity to meet it.

Then, national parks and historical sites can be the perfect opportunity for exploring your bracketing settings. Waterfalls, fountains, and rivers create motion that tests your depth of field and exposure times. As you investigate these technical aspects, remind yourself that photography can be both a serious profession and an adventure in fun!
