When you really look at a scene you may find things to photograph you might not have noticed at first glance.
When you are looking for things to photograph, study your surroundings. There are plenty of photo opportunities even in places that look anything but photographic.
A good exercise for budding photographers is to set yourself a challenge to photograph a predetermined subject matter such as numbers, signs, a particular colour or shapes like circles or rectangles.
Go out with your camera and set yourself an hour to complete the task. When you set yourself a challenge to capture a particular subject, you have to look to find it in a larger scene.
As you do you’ll see a range of things that you may not otherwise notice.
Part of what sets a good photographer apart from a mediocre one is the ability to see the possibilities in a scene.
