Niagara Still-Life
John Hartig Photography
Anything,
anything at all, can catch the photographer's eye and may be worthwhile
taking a picture. I like people photos, landscapes, scenery and animals...but
sometimes, there's just plain things or objects or knic-nacs...or whatever!
Sometimes it's just hard to find a category but you know, hey this thing
is of interest to my eye. So let's photograph it! Just remember though,
there is a difference between a snapshot and a photograph. What I mean
is that a photograph of value has to be good and to be good, it has to
have qualities of shape, pattern, composition, balance and point of interest.
Remember that photographs are just "instant paintings" and many
of the same rules apply, which to the artist become second nature by gift
and by practice. So don't just take a snapshot, make a photograph!
