Kiss kiss.

Another message I iterate often is the need to keep it simple.

A good photo is often distinguished by its simplicity. Everything in the photo is there for a reason – or it’s not there.

Simple can be achieved by:

  1. Filling the frame (zooming in or stepping closer)
  2. Changing your viewpoint
  3. Blurring the background
  4. Moving things or people.

An example of blurring and subsequent cropping:

Before:

Tree and ball

And after:

Tree and ball

As you see, a simple crop makes the picture better. The crop tool in Lightroom should be your best friend! An even tighter crop would be even better, I bet.

View the picture at full size and you can see me taking the shot.
