Tip #8: Think about how one picture leads to the next


When taking a sequence of pictures, besides considering the composition, we were told also to think about how the previous picture may lead to the one you are taking. A good photo essay has a smooth flow of passages, and that is something the photographer will want to consider while snapping shots.


Putting it to practice: This picture is actually a continuation from the previous shot. It's the same couple, but here we can see that the man has tattoos covering his arms. While he is preparing to pray, his wife waits next to him patiently. Shot using the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 with 50mm F1.4 lens. ISO 200, aperture of F6.3 and shutter speed of 1/200 second.
