ADD INTEREST TO YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY WITH A STORYLINE

PHOTO TIP - Take photos that tell a story. The story the photo tells does not have to be elaborate. However, the story contained within the photograph should be apparent to the viewer. For instance, during my recent visit to Northern Thailand, I took numerous photograph of Buddhist monks. Many of them told a story. Perhaps the most interesting though was the photo I took of a young monk photographing tourists visiting the temple at Doi Suthep. The monk was in a semi reclined position, his point and shoot camera carefully poised as he prepares to press the shutter. The photo needs no caption. The story it tells is unambiguous. A storyline of this sort adds an additional level of interest to your image. Try it. You may find that it takes your photography to the next level. Larry Elkins Elkinsphotos
