New Saturday Market location
Photographers control what the viewer of the image sees. Light, color and an image’s focus are a few elements that allows you to control where you want to place the viewer’s attention. During my walk today, the sun was out but dark clouds were moving in from the north. This image demonstrates the use of light and dark to focus the viewer’s attention. The subject, the new site of Portland’s Saturday Market structure, was basked in bright sunlight while the background of dark clouds pops the subject matter foreword – giving it perspective and depth.
This was taken with my iPhone camera. Sure it could have been a better shot if I had my professional equipment but I wanted to make a point. Practice the basics – this will improve your photographic skills, not necessarily having better equipment.
