1. Lifeguards on Duty



2. POW Memorial Flag



3. Lifeguard Station




4. Not a Panorama-- I just liked the crop.




5. Coke/Coke.



6. Tut-Tut, Looks Like Rain!

Hi Mark,

Talent is nice to have in the craft but nothing beats practice. Not measured
in hours but in years. How long have been at this craft ? You got
some nice work (clouds) here with huge potential ! The next step
in your work is to add more foreground in your photos they look
like there are on a flat plane 2D. This is typical when the camera is
shot at eye level with a wide angle lens.

The easiest way to do this is lower the camera to about 6 inches off the
ground and shoot a vertical or horizontal shot. This will add depth and
artisitc flare to your photos. Look for something interesting to put in the
new foreground like a set of foot prints, a bird feather, sea shell etc.

Before you know it you will be posting stunning photos on here also !
Practice low POV (point of view) untill you get them down pat.
Give it a try you will see.

Take care,
Dwayne Oakes

How long have I been at this craft? Several years. How many good pictures have I taken? Still waiting for the first! :lol

Point taken about the foregrounds, or lack thereof! Will try your advice next time. .
