In case you don't know, my father is a photography enthusiast. Few days ago, I shared with him some of the photo we had taken, and he shared with me his comments.

1) Multi-Layered Photo

"This photo looks good. It has:
i) some branches & leaves to provide more layer for the picture
ii) cloud that doesn't make sky looking that blank
iii) forest included but not at major portion as you are shooting the mainly on the beach
iv) People included (click on the pic to see enlarged version) - to show the size of the beach

All in all, a multi-layered photo is good"


2) That 80's Popular Studio Effect

He saw these two photos, one with the blurred background, and another one with the clear backgorund.


Clear background


Blurred Background


Zoomed in-ed clear version


He mentioned that the blurred background like this, was a popular effect back in 80's. Some of the photographer even used the light bulb to create such effect.


3) Photo That Looks Like Painting

He saw this photo, taken by my sis, and mentioned that it's nice because it looks like a painting.


"In fact, photography is best when it looks artistic as painting, while painting is best when it looks realistic as photography"

Now, I think that's a quote of the day. :)

Thanks Papa.
