Aim For The Eyes

 
 

 

 

After I shoot I go through the hundreds of pictures I took and pick the ones that jump out, then start the tedious process of narrowing down, editing, re-editing, re-re-editing...

Occasionally I'll go back after the job is done and find one that I overlooked the first time. Sometimes recropping and adjusting the angle can make all the difference in the world.

Such was the case of this picture I took last summer. This was taken in Adriatica at the end of a long day of shooting. Looking at this photo reminded me of another tip I like to give out: focus on the eyes. When you press the shutter half way to lock in your focus, always aim for the eyes.
