Get Up Close

Too many photographers shy away from their subjects. Get close to show detail. If you can’t get physically closer, use your camera’s zoom feature, if it has one. If your camera has a macro feature, use it to take extreme close-ups of flowers, rocks, seashells, tattoos—you name it. Don’t limit yourself to wide shots.
