Fountain of Bokeh: Every once in a while, I get behind on my photos, so I have to post two a day! (And surprise, this is one of those days! This was taken using one SB 900 to the left, shooting up to illuminate the droplets and light up the bottom of the fountain. I hand held the 300mm Sigma. The bokeh is just icing on the cake. I’m going to get back to my discussion on vision eventually… one thing to note is that although you shouldn’t skew every image you take, one way to take a bland composition and make it interesting is to tilt the camera one way or another. It can cause leading lines to be more pronounced and dramatic, and guide the viewers eye around the photo. (Not that I do that too well in this photo, it’s just a useful trick. See the shot I took of the trees and wall two shots back, that’s a good example.)View On Black
