Jay Maisel
You always end up with too many pictures to edit and too few that you feel 'got it'.
Jay Maisel
Since the background is as important as the subject, you mustn't let it default by chance. You must control not only vertical and horizontal, you must be aware of the depth of field (or lack of it) that you want in the background.
Jay Maisel
When we are given gifts, we must be quick and able to accept them.
