Composition is Everything

Next learning is focused on composition. The photograph taken on 2 in the afternoon. The sun shines very bright and it creates very bad color as the original photo was taken in color. I didn't want to miss the moment, so I thought that the scene is better for composition learning.

The river was dry so that the rocks might be seen and I could find the best angle to take the picture. The camera setting was: exposure 1/800, f/14, the focal length is 18. My mistake was I didn't change the ISO setting for it used ISO 800.

I use macromedia fireworks to make adjustment. I turn the photo to black and white so that it will be more interesting.

Photography in the Morning

The photography above is about a man who cut a coconut tree. The time when the photograph is taken is morning, about 8 o'clock. When I look at the photograph, it seems that one foot of man is missing, it is because the wood's dust covering his foot.

To photograph this moment I use my Canon EOS 20D with its standard lens. I use slow speed to create dramatic effect of the dust, but the light is not enough to brighten the dust.

Comment on this photo are welcomed.

My Grandmother Photograph

The photograph of my grandmother. She is about 70s, she got stroke so that hard to speak. Her memories are fine but the verbal that is damaged. She is my line to born to this world.
I took her photograph in my daughter's birthday on June 2007. The camera that was used was Canon 20D. I'm new in photography so that sometimes I didn't set the camera to the right setting. I believe someday I could set my camera better.
