Key tips

  1. Pay attention to a calm image composition at high focal lengths by intentionally placing the subject within the frame.
  2. Choose a low shooting position to incorporate the flowers in the foreground into your image composition.
  3. Focus on your image composition during sunset by using the jetty as a key design element.
