The single most important thing we can do to improve our photos is to think about what we are taking photos of before we take them. We need to take the time to get the best composition every time we take a photo. The success or otherwise of any photo starts and ends with what is in the photo.

Photography composition is what you include in a photo, what the light is doing and how the elements within the composition relate to each other.

In this episode, I tell you

Why this is important
What I am looking for when I take a photo
How I take photos of buildings
How I photograph sunrises
How I photograph an island
What my photography superpowers are

I also tell you

What if you use a phone to take photos
What I do
How you can ask me a question
And a little bit about me.

All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in (much) less than 27 (ish) minutes!

What is not to love? How utterly splendid!
