Photo tip twist...

No, not original, but provokes thought when one is bored with pretty landscapes and beautiful flowers.... I found this little tidbit on the net this AM.
Tip for BEGINNERS - My tip for today is to be different and photograph the scene behind the view. Many times this can be more interesting than what they are looking at.

I was taught to always look around, including in back of me. Sometimes a sunset is a lot more interesting in the opposite direction.

It's a good tip. I remember filming one day in Yosemite National Park. I was on a bridge, photographing up river. It was beautiful having just snowed, all the trees were covered in snow. I had been taking photos for a while when my wife walked up behind me and asked if I had turned around. I hadn't, but when I did I was so glad she had asked me. Looking the other way was the river, snow covered trees, everything was pretty much in black and white, but Half Dome was centered above the river, in a beautiful orange alpine glow. Turned out to be the best photos of the day.

I agree. I learned rotate and look 360 degrees plus up and down. It works. I won a contest of 236 images submitted by looking up in a computer room and saw this lonely blue wire woven across green wires.

When I taught beginning photography I taught my students to shoot HLI, High , Low, and in between. With the newer articulated screens it's easier than ever to shoot Low.
But again, learn to look at the same scene at least three different ways if not more.

Just what I did the other day. Another one of those things I know to do but often overlook.

Most times, it is much better. The warm light will transform the dull ordinary into magic. You still have to design the shot. : )

That happened to me years ago. I was going to photograph a sunset. The scene behind me was much more photogenic than that which I was anticipating.

The advice that I like is to work the scene, up, down, sideways, from here, from there, and turn around.

I for one would love to see the photos both ways to see what you (and your wife) saw
From time to time I have looked back and was able to get a good shot. But mostly I’m too focused on what is in front of me to think about it.

I always try to look up, down, to the front, and then back. Learned this when traveling in Europe years ago when photographing churches and inside of buildings I was suprised at what I was missing
