October's photo assignment "Get Closer"
Mark Wallace - video of Get Closer
As a general rule, the closer you get to the subject, the better your pictures will be. Getting close eliminates distracting, unnecessary backgrounds and defines your subject clearly.
There's an old adage in photography that says if you want to improve your photographs 100 percent, move closer. It's true. The one sure way to keep from including too much extraneous information in a photograph is to fill the frame with your subject and nothing but your subject. Filling the frame from edge to edge leaves little doubt about what your intended target was. There are two ways to get closer: Use a telephoto lens or put some more wear on your walking shoes.

I have lived in Argentina, Saskatchewan, British Colombia, Idaho, Utah, California, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Mexico. I convinced my husband to move to the "promised land" ten years ago. I LOVE Idaho and the diversity of nature that we have here. Whether we are shooting downtown or out in the golden fields, we have everything that I could dream of!
