Details, Details, Details
Before I get into the main topic of this post, I want to thank Franki Durbin again for giving me the opportunity to be a Guest Blogger for Life In A Venti Cup. I've really enjoyed authoring these blog posts, and I hope you have enjoyed them as well.
My first guest post highlighted some interesting photography iPhone apps, my second post was about changing your point of view in your photographs, and this post is going to cover another idea to make your photographs more interesting.
That idea is: Focus on the Details
Sometimes we are in such a rush to get from Point A to Point B, that we forget to admire the details around us. I will use the Eiffel Tower again as an example. A classic Eiffel Tower photograph looks something like this:

However, by simply taking the time to admire and capture the details, your photographs can become quite unique and creative. Here are some of the details of the Eiffel Tower:

Absolutely breathtaking shots. It's funny, isn't it? Most people struggle to take in the whole tower...but less can be so much more. Those gears, the curves, the base... so intriguing...and worthy of framing. awesome lesson - and thank you so very much for blogging, Ryan. You've been amazing!
