Finding the perfect shot.

You may not know it but there so many things around you that can make one of those perfect shots. There are some things that help find that perfect shot. They can turn a boring old picture into a picture hanging in peoples houses all around. One thing in a good shot is the angle. A good angle brings new things into the picture that might make it stand out more than others. It makes it more interesting than just a straight on picture. Try new things until you find that artistic looking angle that you love. Next is finding good lighting. You don't want to much light in your pictures because it can cast bad shadows and make the picture bad. However, you don't want it to be too dark. This makes it harder to distinguish things in the picture and doesn't stand out from other pictures. I got a lot of knowledge from my grandpa about this because he had his own photography studio. He always said the best times to shoot are at about 7 AM and 7 PM in the summers. In other words just by about 1 hour after sun rise and 1 hour before sunset. Also a cloudy day can provide just the right amount of light as long as it's not to dense. Another benefit to the cloudy day light is that the clouds do add a nice touch to nature shots. Odds are you aren't going to get your perfect shot the first take. Sometimes it will take 100 shots before you find the picture you absolutely love. Experiment and try to find what you think is your perfect shot.

Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.
