How do I do it?
Here’s my example of choosing the right Point of Interest.
- I walked around the rocks for a few minutes and found the most striking point of interest for me.
- I waited for the waves to circle back around for a flush effect in the water and I’ve tried a couple of different angles that brings out the beauty of my point of interest even more.
- Like I mentioned, experimented with different shutter speeds and used different lenses.
