Tip #6: Take note of minor details


Keep your eyes peeled for little events that are happening around you. Sometimes, these situations may be able to express more than a shot that depicts the entire scene.


Putting it to practice: Tirta Empul is a temple with a cleansing pond that devotees can go for purification. I noticed a little girl walking around with just one slipper. By giving the photograph more space on the left end, I was attempting to direct viewers' attention to her feet. Shot using the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 with 50mm F1.4 lens. ISO 200, aperture of F6.3 and shutter speed of 1/160 second.
