Photography Tips From an Old Dude

Categorized: Photography

In case you haven't noticed, I'm not much of a photographer.  Apparently a random old guy walking down Valencia agreed with this observation.  "No no no, you have to get down closer to the ground.  The sun is shining right in your lens; you need to get in the shadow of the object you're shooting.  There you go!  Now you have it!"

He was right:

Thanks dude!

The first one is way better because the golden rays of sunshine help the viewer to conclude that God is smiling down on this harmonious union. Suck it, old guy on Valencia.

You're welcome!
