What lies behind your subject can make or break your final image. Learning to pay attention to all elements in your image, light angle, shadow, composition and especially the background, will help you get better photos. We will also discuss using different lenses and depth of focus to isolate your subject or show it in its environment with these techniques:
• Composition… choosing what to include
• Seeing beyond your subject
• Depth of field to improve your "focus"
• Using telephoto compression
• Seeing the light (and shadows)
