From Digital Photography School, another National Geographic photographer, Bob Holmes, shares composition tips. They include
- Knowing your equipment inside out, so it doesn’t get in the way of your photography
- Developing and educating your eye
- Finding the “punctuation” in a photograph
- Seeking strong colors, geometry
- Injecting excitement and interest
- Taking responsibility for everything that is in the frame
- Being fully involved with your subject
- Being a photographer (versus a tourist, etc.)
Terrific advice! I encourage you to see the video here.
Best wishes on your photography adventures,
Susan
