Abstract Photography to Stir Our Emotions and Express the Art Within Us

With all of the tools available, including post-production enhancements, the sky is now the limit for the photographer. What once belonged to the painters, now is shared with the photographers and the photographic designers. Abstract Photography: First Definition As is the case where beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so is the definition of abstract photography. To some it is a case of the definition of what someone is viewing, in the photograph, has no words to describe it. It is probably fair to say that if it cannot be defined or described, it is abstract. The picture, below, is closer to fitting that description. If you want to stare at the picture for a while to see if you can come up with words to describe (or define) it, I suggest clicking on the image and it will open in another tab (presumably) so that you have the time to do that, without the spoiler alert that follows this.

Photographing Four Tearooms in Los Angeles

Finding anything on the internet, even tea rooms in Los Angeles First, Los Angeles is a wonderful place to capture photographic moments, and why not Tea Rooms? Tea Rooms have been around for centuries and exist in many countries and cultures. The version of tea may differ, as well as the accompanying delicacies, but the act of congregating and sipping a hot (or iced tea) seems to be a common cultural enjoyment.

The US has adopted the cultures of many countries in providing English tea, Japanese tea, and Chinese tea, to name a few. Please note: We wrote this about a year ago, for another site and we have since beefed up this article with our professional tips for photography. However, with all of the companies coming and going, it is possible that these four may not have stayed at the top (or even on this earth).

10 Tips for Stunning Photographs

Here are some quick tips to help you with your photography success. Tip 1 – Use All Your Available Space Don’t be afraid to use all of the space in your photo. If you want to take a picture of something, it’s ok for it to take up the whole shot with very little background showing. The key is to keep the photo free from distractions. So, if you have half a plant in the corner of your background, that is what people will be looking at rather than the primary subject of your photo. In that case, remove the plant prior to taking the photo. Tip 2 – Study Forms This is a vital aspect of photography. Understand the form in your photography. Rather than seeing objects, see the form and the angles of your subject. This is art. Photography is art. It is an opportunity to express yourself in your art. Tip 3 – Motion In Your Photos You do not want motion in your photographs. If you do, you end up with blur. This is not ideal. In a perfect world, you want stationary subjects. Also, learn patience.
