The third secret weapon
Let's investigate. A new way to get rid of that pesky cardboard
Let’s go find our cat one last time.
Oh wow! Talk about pieces of evidence! What do you think about this?
First of all, here is my ugly picture with the piece of cardboard.
And now it looks like this is a new version of my picture without the crummy intruder!
Can you guess what action I took before snapping the second picture?
To take this picture, it looks like I got closer to the subject. Or maybe I zoomed in with my camera? I can’t remember for sure anymore.
To get rid of the intruder, what do I mostly move this time?
- A. My camera?
- B. My body?
- C. The subject?
Answer B! This time, I move my whole body! On the other hand, if I zoom in with my camera to take the picture, then nothing moves.
Picture quest. Move!
Don’t you want to stretch your legs a little? That’s good, because now I am going to ask you to MOVE! And watch out, this is not about moving the camera just a smidgen this way or a touch the other—this is about taking large strides!
- 1. Look for a subject that you like and take a picture of it.
- 2. Move closer to it, taking large steps, and then take another picture.
- 3. Try to notice what changes when you get closer to the subject.
