"Your Creative Edge"
By: Tedric Garrison
(creator of: www.betterphototips.com)
This extraordinary eBook of photographic excellence is
based on 30 years of experience by Photographer / Writer
Tedric Garrison. In college, Tedric was a Graphic Arts Major,
and he firmly believes that "creativity" can be taught. Tedric
does so with interesting stories, easy to understand lessons,
and vivid photographic examples.
Some people think you have to be born with a "Creative Eye" to be a great photographer.
That's just not true; there are certain powerful and easy concepts that will dramatically
improve anyone's photography. These concepts are not generally covered in
most photo classes because, well . . . they're "Art" concepts. Most people
don't acknowledge photography as an art, because of that little
mechanical box you use to capture the light. To me,
that's absurd. That's like saying no one can be
a really great writer, because they all use
the same 26 letters of the alphabet.
Whether you're just getting started;
or you're ready to take your work to the next level,
this eBook is for you. Look at a few of the concepts covered:
● Lines - Lines can be seen or not seen. They can be solid
objects or merely implied. Lines can be straight, curved,
or jagged. They can lead your eyes into your photograph,
or distract you and force you to look elsewhere.
● Texture - When you control the texture of your photos you invite
the viewer deeper and deeper into your world. In other
words . . . you share your feelings.
● Light - Have you ever seen a photographer outside in the middle
of the day using a flash? Did you ever wonder why he or
she was doing that? I mean, it’s high noon at the baseball
field in the middle of the summer without a cloud in the sky.
Shouldn’t there already be enough light?
● Repetition If you repeat something once or twice it becomes more
interesting. If you repeat something many times it becomes
a pattern and takes on a life of its own.
● Opposition Often opposition is used specifically to call attention to it’s
self. The difference becomes a type of "Spot" in
your photograph that draws your attention regardless of
it's size, shape, or texture
● Dominance In music there is a dominant beat or rhythm. In drama there
is dominant character. In life, there is something dominant
that drives you. It could be your mate or your children. It
could be your work. It doesn't matter what it is, it only
matters that you have something.
● Rule of Thirds One of the things the rule of thirds does for your image is
to give it movement. “But wait a minute”, you're asking,
“what if my subject isn't moving?” That's fine, but it gives
your mind somewhere to go with the image.
● Framing In the children's story Charlotte's Web, Charlotte concludes
that people believe what they see in print. Likewise, people
believe if something is framed it must be important.
● Depth of Field Human nature dictates most people will look at the sharpest
area first. When you choose the f-stop to shoot with, you
choose how the viewer is going to see what you saw.
"Whether you use 35mm, Point & Shoot, or Digital
these are the things that make normal shots into
great shots. This isn't just about photography, this
is about learning how to see the world with your own
creative edge."
