Here are just a few of the comments from iPhotography students;
“Fabulous shot, the sharpness is epic. Love the composition showing the old and new and the colours really compliment the shot. Brilliant! Well done Peter 😀.“

8. Bev Trainer
Here are just a few of the comments from iPhotography students;
“This looks scrumptious Bev. Not sure how you got the (marshmallows?) floating in the air but very effective.“

9. Jean Gilmour
Here are just a few of the comments from iPhotography students;
“I really like this Jean – very simple but eye catching. Sometimes you need simplicity to allow the photo to speak to you. You have that here. Well done 🙂“
“I agree with Michelle! The simplicity here really works, coupled with the beautiful colour of the background. You won’t be seeing Christmas food pictures from me because if I buy or make it, I’ll have to eat it! LOL!“
“The orange background is great. Makes the food feel yummy and inviting, just the kind of look that professionals look for in advertising 🙂 well done!“
10. Matthew Broome
Here are just a few of the comments from iPhotography students;
“This is beautiful, Matthew! I love the composition, with the lone tree and the gradient color behind it.“
“Vivid sunset (or sunrise) colours here. Very atmospheric with the lone tree.“
“Superb work Matthew wonderful image, I can see exactly why you got nominated for the POTY shortlist this year!“

3 Ways to Use Natural Light
Sunlight can be discussed using a few different photography terms and approaches. There are normally 4 considerations photographers look at when using natural light in their photos - Direction, Colour, Intensity and Quality.
1. Direction
In which direction is the light falling? Is the direction of the light where you need it to be? While it’s very hard to change the direction of natural light unless you’re using reflectors you may have to move your subject into the path of the light to get the right finish.
There are 3 main directions that you can use natural light in a photo;

How to Be a Nature Photographer
Going from a beginner nature photographer to making money from your camera you need dedication. It requires time and a never-ending passion to get outdoors with your cameras and practise new techniques. Get outdoors early and return when the sun sets.
Get familiar with your local woodlands and read nature books to learn about wildlife, birding and foliage. This will help you understand what you are shooting and when is the best time of year to find these subjects.
What Does This Guide Include?
The other challenge when shooting through glass is the tinting. Unfortunately, architects and designers didn’t think about us photographers when creating these skyscrapers.
Their windows are invariably tinted in some way to help with heating.
This means that some of your photos may have a green/grey tint to them.
It’s not the biggest issue as you can rebalance this tint in editing with the ‘tint’ slider for example.
