Article Review 2
Magazine:Popular Photography and Imaging
Issue: October 2007
Page Number: 26
The second article that I read was about shooting photos outdoors in autumn. Some artiful approaches to taking photos outdoors in autumn may be foliage in motion, which means to combine tree trunks with leaves swishing in the breeze. The shutter speed should be set to around the 1 second range. Another approach may be wide views overhead. What you should to is grab your widest optic and stretch out on the forest floor in order to throw the colorful underbelly of the canopy. Shoot along silky streams and capture a still life that sets the fallen leaves against the milky stream blurred by a low shutter speed.
Mounting a telephoto zoom on a sturdy tripod and aiming at the swatch of the intense autumn colors can bring out really nice color patterns in the leaves that are being photographed in the photo. Next the article said that the tripod mounted camera should be pointed down for the views of the forest floor and look for the natural artifacts that can be composed into a photo. Also you should target the most intense color and rhythmic pattern and avoid including a center of interest in order to bring out the texture of the photo more.

The article that I read was about ways to lighten up a photo with flash. It says that too many people use the built in flash only for outdoor pictures but you can make your photos more creatively. The first way was that pictures in direct sunlight tend to be overly contrasted with black shadows that appear as "inky." The flash may add just enough light to the shadows to reveal details without lighting. When shooting portraits of animals or people flash, even at a very low power adds catchlights that bring the eyes of the subject to life.
The third way is in the same way a lower powered flash will add sparkle to textured surfaces without altering the image. Another way is to tape over the flash with colored plastic film such as cellophane, lets you mix a flash of one color with ambient illuminations. A colored flash used for fill makes an interesting aspect of the photo. The last way is that at dusk outdoors, the foreground objects can often appear featureless silhouettes. In order to add visual interest to twilight photos, make the foreground appear more bright and noticeable.
