Take beautiful clear pictures wherever you are without having to worry about damaging your valuable camera!Imagine if you will; one moment you are hanging off the side of a cliff with camera
in one hand and the other clutched tightly around the base of a small tree sticking
out of the side of this mountain. You are focused on your objective which is the
huge waterfall directly in front of you; when suddenly the small tree that you are
holding onto looses its grip and you are now falling down from some fifty feet in
the air. Strangely enough your first thought is not, Im going to die! but rather,
Water and camera, not a good thing. Immediately you toss your camera as far
away from you as you can.
You almost feel relieved as your eye notices it landing in some large bushes nearby.
Then, you actually hit the surface. You never realized water could hurt so badly. Just
as your body registers the pain, you instinctively take your last gulp of air. Up until this
point the roar of the waterfall was just part of the background noise all around you.
Now it is the only noise; and even though that sound is now muffled because you are
hearing it from under water, it still penetrates down to your bones.
As you twist and turn and tumble about you are no longer aware which way is up.
You open your eyes only to see thousands of tiny air bubbles rising all around you.
Frantically you turn yourself over to look up. You do see light, but it seems to be
getting darker not brighter. You start kicking and squirming using your hands to
swim the long journey to the surface.
The pressure on you ears is enormous, and then comes the weight that seems to be
crushing your lungs from all sides. How deep did I go? you remember thinking
frantically. You start to recognize things on the surface, but your still not there yet.
Finally, you break the surface of the roaring water only to be pushed back under
within seconds.
Oh no, you think to yourself, Im not giving up that easy. As your legs start to go
numb from the cold, they feel heavier than normal. You glance down and realize
that your trusty tennis shoes now feel like lead weights. As you glance up, a thought
comes to you. If you go straight up again, youll be right in the middle again.
Desperately, you force your body to go up at an angle. Reaching, clawing, and
hoping at any moment to find an edge you can pull yourself up with.
You can see the surface again, but your body is starting to shut down. You shut your
eyes for only a second, then it hits. Actually, its you that hits the side of the rock wall.
It must have jarred you back into trying, because you cant actually remember crawling
out. All you know is that by the grace of God and for some unknown reason you
managed to survive.
You have just experienced dominance. Dominance takes you by surprise; forces you
out of your comfort zone, and turns you upside down and backwards and spits you back out again. In other words, its an emotional rollercoaster that changes your perspective.
Look through as many big name photo magazines or books as you please. By big
name, I mean places like Time/Life, National Geographic, News Week, etc. Besides
using some of the greatest photographers in the world, they all have something else in common. They all have images with a dominate subject or emotion. You do not see a
single snap shot in places like these. Their images are designed so that they are hard
to put down.
This is the type of stuff that should inspire or motivate us to reach higher and shoot clearer. By clearer, I am not referring to the focus. Clearer more professional images means: no clutter, no guessing. You have one main subject that is dominate, and use every single rule about the elements of design to make that subject, reach off the page
and grab you.
If you are not excited about your images why should anyone else be? You dont have
to fall off a waterfall every time, but if you do, make sure you get the shot. Make sure
your work shows emotional impact; have a dominate subject or theme; dont just guess
this will make a good shot. Plan your shooting in advance. Even if you have never been
to a particular location before, picture in your mind what you want to accomplish. When you feel the adrenaline pumping through your veins, youre on your way to taking your
best shots ever.
