Weekly Photo Tip

Keep camera parallel with subject

When colors are dramatically different, you will want to keep the focus sharp across the frame. That’s a bit easier to do when you’re hand-holding the camera to grab a shot of a moving subject. Keep reminding yourself to find–and keep–that parallel for maximum sharpness. It works quite well for small subjects.

Keep camera parallel with flat subjects. F6.3 @ 320, ISO 200

About Jack

A classically trained musician since childhood, Jack Carlson always had the “ear” of an artist. It was only a short step to develop the artist’s “eye” as well.

The portfolio of this certified photographer reveals images that emphasize mood and composition. Their purpose is to present a feeling in addition to portrayal of person, place or thing. Sometimes that feeling is nostalgia; other times it is serenity.

Each photograph tells a story.
