Anjali's Photo Gallery II

The smelt was incidental when our grand-daughter Anjali paid a visit to the Seattle Aquarium recently. She was more interested in the light on the reeds.

Yup, she's getting there. I'd suggest a title that provides an expression of what is going on to the artist in the photo composition. There is no communicated context in a nature photo other than what is suggested or obvious.

Brian, thanks for noticing. We haven't had time to review the great photos you sent me, but I do ask her about the ones she does...She just sees stuff, interiors, colors ...does not plan or think, just snaps.

George-Anjoli’s Photo Gallery should become a regular feature. Spontaneity and a good eye are a winning combination for a photographer.

She might enjoy joining a camera club, particularly one that has monthly competitions. Seeing the work of others, and having her work critiqued, is a terrific learning experience. It is nice to get good scores, but that is secondary.

Most camera clubs have monthly themes, which encourage the photographer to look at things creatively. The photos that Brian posted are an excellent example. Most people would go through a dilapidated building and only see a mess. A photographer sees art and beauty.

People often ask a photographer what camera did they use, or what camera should they buy to get good pictures. It’s not the camera!
