**__Five Amazing Photograph________________________________________________________________________________ ** In this first photograph, I love the colours that are used in it. The colours are so fun, bright and they all go so well together. In the second photograph, the glare on the top creates a summery feel that helps emphaize the picture. The glare at the top makes you feel like the sun is shining at you. This picture just reminds you of  the summer weather, and how beautiful open fields are like in the summer.

This photograph is simple, but it shows how the edit that they add can really give a different feel in the picture. I really like  the colours of the edit they used on the photograph. It's a simple photograph, when you look at it, the main focus on  this picture is the tattoo its self. The second photograph is also simple, but it gives so much meaning. I think that since the photograph is black and white, it gives it much more of a deeper meaning. The paper with the word THE PAST is nice and clear, while the background is blurred to make it stand out more.



**__Photography Do's & Dont's + Tips & Tricks_________________________________________________________________ **  Here are some of the tips and tricks on photography. 1. Alter your perspective, changing the angle you shoot  from can give you that 'wow' factor. 2. Play with eye contact, it's amazing how much the direction of your  subject's eyes can impact an image. You can try looking off the camera, or looking within the frame. 3. Experiment with lighting. 4. Shoot Candidly, sometimes posed shots can look somewhat posed. Some  people don't look good in a posed environment, so switching up to a candid apporach can work. There are  also things that you should keep in mind while taking a photograph such as focus point, colours, lighting, etc. You should also take a lot of photos, and be open to everything. Things that you shouldn't do: Edit originals,  email photos, never copy anyone elses work.
