The rule of thirds may help you try to balance your pictures .
Placing objects on the intersection of imaginary lines that cut the frame into
thirds is a good way to start when trying to balance composition in a shot .
Remember rules are not always meant to be followed !
Shooting a mud crab for a restaurant last week,
It looked so interesting i thought i might take a shot for the Gallery
Shot in natural soft light . I had the light coming in from the side very low to produce the highlight on the claw.
I bounced some light back in from the other side and bottom
f8 @ 15 sec.
A little photoshop and he’s ready to hang in your kitchen.
I would have it as a whole pearsonly
Some photos i took at Harrisons Port Douglas
Hope you enjoy these photos ……. the food was as good as it looks !!
This is one of my favourite backgrounds , it has so much character
and lends itself to blend with the subject adding to the shot as a whole .

Before
After
As a photographer in the digital age i have notice how many people have a digital camera . The costs of film are no longer an issue and people can snap away to their hearts content . Many people now have their computers packed with digital images and unfortunately don’t utilise them.
Prints on canvas , traditional prints or the new perspex/acrylic finish is now becoming very popular and readily available to the general public !
I use Image Bank Australia for all my print needs (and also work with them) so i know first hand their willingness to help the novice, enthusiast , amateur or working professional with any of your needs ……….
and the list goes on
