I apologize for not being able to update this portion of my blog. I’m simply heaped with so much travel backlog that I don’t think I’ll be able to finish everything.

So before I launch into another long trip, I guess it’s time to post another one for this series.

SUNSET AT MANILA BAY

One of the most basic things about photographic composition is subtraction. Remove everything non-essential to the subject at hand and let your subject be showered with all the attention from your viewer’s eye.

Easy enough to do especially when you’re shooting objects at home where you can control your environment.

Alright, since a lot of people (like more than two hehe) has been requesting me to put up a photography section on my blog, I’m finally making one and will be dishing out random bits and pieces of photography tips for the snap-happy travelers in all of us.

The first thing I will tackle is the simplest and easiest rule of shooting landscapes. I’m sure many shooters already know this but I have seen lots and lots and lots of pretty pictures ruined by simply not following this rule.

Okay, the basics says we should always keep the horizon in our photographs leveled; as in not skewed to the left or right. Why you might ask? Most pictures just look better that way; it may be because our eyes always see the horizon as leveled so we associate skewed horizons as being somewhat out of order.
