Hi everyone

Glad to see you all on here. For those of you in Melbourne I hope your all out shooting the Melbourne colours at the moment. Autumn is a spectacular time of the year.

Some things to consider

If it is overcast and the sky looks a bit white or Grey just leave it out. Tilt your camera down and don’t get the sky in your photo. If you have done on of the Photography Made Easy workshops you will know this is one of the tips.

At times zoom in to compress your image and bring the background closer to you (fill your frame). I would say this will be one of the biggest pro tips I can give.

Hey also is your ISO up high enough? At times at this time of the year you will be shooting in bad light so if your not shooting on a tripod then you will want to think about using a higher ISO such as 200 or 400 for during the day.

Get out and have some fun!
