March 2014 – Passion for Photos

Rose 01

Pick a rose and photograph it. Sounds easy/ Maybe it is, but you can also put some effort into it and create some great images!

I photographed this rose right after the rain. I used natural light and put a white card board behind it to catch the shadow.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

The Right Moment 04

I waited until the incoming wave hit the rocks. Enjoy and keep on photographing!

The Right Moment 03

I picked a spot where the incoming waves surround a larger rock. I pressed the shutter right before that happened.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

The Right Moment 02

I am standing on the beach watching with one eye the incoming wave and with the other I was trying to look through the viewfinder. I was lucky that I did not get wet.

Enjoy the image and keep on photographing!

I learned from Andre Kertesz, the famous Hungarian Photographer, that the difference between a great shot and a mediocre shot is usually just a split second. We many times say timing is everything. This exercise is about timing and waiting for the right moment. Go and find yourself scenes where you have to wait for the right moment and then photograph, photograph and photograph.
