Photography ideas, camera & image editing

Some photographers regard morning as the nicest time to take landscape photography.

When the sun is near to the horizon, it creates a very pleasing soft shadow effect. At the same time, colour tone are less saturated compared to other times of the day such as the midday or noon.

Interesting subjects for the morning include elements of nature. An example is the morning plants and dew droplets. Dews and droplets on leaves and grass blade create very pleasing compositions. In the case of photographing dew droplets, the close and macro focusing settings are the most appropriate.

Some plants open up in the morning such as the Morning Glory. So morning is the best time to capture their full splendour.

Many people have heard about healing using natural therapies. These practitioners are known as Naturopaths. However, do you also know that photographs can also be used as a mode of healing?

Phototherapy is the practice of using photographic images as a mode of healing. Phototherapists are professionals who use phototherapy to heal their clients.

There are several main techniques used in phototherapy.

1. Using client’s own photo to assist in revealing their inner feelings and emotions.
2. Using photos taken by others that include image of the client. This can allow the client to understand hinself or herself from a different perspective.
3. Therapy through self-portrait. This is quite a good approach.
4. Photo-projectives which enable the client to face his/her own reaction to certain image and symbolism.

Phototherapy is a relatively uncommon mode of therapy. Nevertheless, there are people out there who are experts in this field of work.
