Articles

First Article (the one about beginning photography):

It's funny, it seems that all the things that this photographer said is what Jonny said! What a coincidence! 
But I think that what he says makes a lot of sense. I especially liked that last part, because I like pictures that have a lot of detail, and focus on one thing rather than everything, I think. 

I really noticed how with the two picture of the branch, the one with more focus on one thing, I liked it far more. I stood out to me more, I guess. But it might be because the branch is the part of the picture that was in focus. But I think that with my camera that I use, I have it on auto. So next time I take pictures, I think I'll try to set it to one of the setting he suggested. 

Second Article: 

I liked reading about all the different ways to have better composition. It's quite interesting to me to see different ways to add different elements to the picture. Like, how adding lines in the picture can make it more interesting what interesting to me, because it seems kind of logical in my mind, how your eyes automatically follow the lines. Another thing that I seriously agreed with, was to simplify things. 

I think that having too many things in your picture can make it feel too busy and overwhelming. I like it when pictures that draw focus to one thing in the picture, instead of far too many things. All these different tips on composition was so interesting! I hope to apply it to the next time I take pictures.
