Dandilions at Seed

So here are a couple of things as reminders to all of you young photographers. First, be selective with your focus, and decide what exactly your subject is going to be and pinpoint your focus. It never helps to be "in between" and especially careless when it comes to finding your focal point. Below are two examples, the same shot with two different focal points. Which one do you like the best and why? Does it have to do with composition?



Second, don't forget to use a vertical format from time to time. Often the subject itself dictates whether a vertical or horizontal format will work the best for a particular shot, but ultimately the photographer and their vision makes that final compositional decision. It doesn't hurt to shoot in both formats so that you can compare and make a sound judgement based on artistic principle.
