Edge of the Sea



 "The shore is an ancient world, for as long as there has been an earth and sea there has been this place of the meeting of land and water. Yet it is a world that keeps alive the senses of continuing creation and of the relentless drive of life. Each time that I enter it, I gain some new awareness of its beauty and its deeper meanings, sensing that intricate fabric of life by which one creature is linked with another, and each with its surroundings...

There is a common thread that links these scenes and memories–the spectacle of life in all its varied manifestation as it appeared, evolved and sometimes died out. Underlying the beauty if the spectacle there is meaning and significance. It is the elusiveness of that meaning that haunts us, that sends us again and again into the natural world where the key to this riddle is hidden.

It sends us back to the edge of the sea, where the drama of life played its first scene on earth and perhaps even its prelude; where the forces of evolution are at work today, as they have been since the appearance of what we know as life, and where the spectacle of living creatures faced by the cosmic realities of their world is crystal clear."

Wedding Photography

Wedding photography - tip 1

 

 

 

EXIF file info:

 

Tip: Use ambient light without flash to add mood into the picture. Expose for highlights. The light and shade on the face is the perfect makeup for a photographer. An open aperture like F/2.8 helps throw the background out of focus.


Wedding photography- tip 2

 

 

Exif Info: F/4, Shutter 1/50th of a sec

Tip: Did you get crazy with your shutter speed and Zoom in Zoom out technique yet ? If not, please try fixing the main point of interest & focus in the center of your frame. Have a relatively slow shutter speed; 1/50th of a sec or lesser. Release that Shutter and simultaneously zoom in or out. You will be surprised at how you can make ordinary images look extraordinary.

Wedding Photography

Wedding photography - Tip 3

 

 

Exif file info:

 

Tip: Stitch a Panorama of the Decor at the Wedding Venue. It can really add value to your wedding portfolio and bring a smile on your clients face. You will need to close down your aperture quite a bit as you want great depth. This will automatically slow down your shutter speed. The best way to do a Panorama is to mount it on a tripod. Take Multiple frames by panning your camera at every 3 degrees. Make sure to overlap 33% to have no problems while stitching.
