Tip #10: Use captions to give viewers the right perspective
Although a picture speaks a thousand words, there are certain shots which require captions to give viewers the right perception. However, Abbas advised using words sparingly to leave more room for imagination in the picture. If you describe the whole scene, there is nothing left for the viewers to interpret.
Putting it to practice: At a market in Kasamba, a lady was pushing a cart full of frozen fishes. The harvest in the morning was bad and fishermen had to resort to selling their frozen stock to earn their keep for the day. Shot using the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 with 50mm F1.4 lens. ISO 200, aperture of F5.6 and shutter speed of 1/320 second.
