Are you looking for more creative ways to add impact to your photographs? Try framing your subject. The use of framing is not anything new, but if you haven’t tried it by now, I suggest you give it a whirl. There are many ways to do this. Here are a few suggestions to get you going.
- Shoot from inside a tent. You will need a fairly wide angle lens to do this.
- Use a doorway to frame your subject.
- Framing with trees is a very commonly used way of framing.
- Shoot from inside a cave. Again, you will need a wide angle lens.
- Shoot from inside a tunnel.
- You can also use an archway or a car window!
As you start using this technique, you will begin to see more and more ways to implement it. Below are two examples of how I have used framing to add impact to my photographs.

There are lots of ways to add impact to your photographs, but this one simple tip can often be your “saving grace.”
Adding a splash of red, can turn an ordinary photograph into an attention grabbing, high-impact photograph. The next time you head out for a photo shoot, bring along something red such as a bandana, daypack, or hat. If you are traveling with someone that you plan on photographing, get them to wear one of the items you brought with you. If you ask ahead of time, maybe they would even be willing to wear a red shirt or jacket.
After several years of photographing my husband and a few of our friends, I’ve finally got them trained to wear red. I’m not the best sport when it comes to wearing red myself, so when it’s my turn to be the subject, I strap on my red photo fanny pack, which I bought specifically for this purpose.
Here is an assignment for you. Next time you are out photographing, take a few photos including something red, then take the same photos without. You will be amazed at the difference.

lt all depends on who you are. A friend and former resident of Auburn doesn’t think so. He, like so many others stop here on their way to Reno or Lake Tahoe.Â
But, if you are a mountain biker, runner, hiker, kayaker, canoeist, dog owner, equestrian, history buff, gold prospector, antique collector or an endurance participant (and I’m sure I’m forgetting a few things), then Auburn just may very well be “a travel destination.”
Auburn is now known as “The Endurance Capital of the World,” as it is home to numerous endurance races. These events such as The Western States 100 and The Tevis Cup are attracting more and more visitors each year. And with the increasing popularity of Auburn, there is more demand for stock photos of the area.
