Zooming In (5 Minutes for Photography)

Today, 5 Minutes for Mom is hosting a few photography tips and a chance to share some of our own photos that fit within today’s subject. Today’s subject is Zooming In….something I do quite a bit. Why?

Well, I zoom in to decrease distractions in the background. Here, the background is VERY busy and VERY messy. If AJ wasn’t filling the frame, it would be a whole lot harder to focus on his cuteness. Trust me.

Here, I zoomed in to focus on this bride and groom. There were 50 or so people standing around, but I cropped them right out of the crowd. Who’d have known?

Here, I zoomed in to blur the background. I used this (and a series of shots from this day) to do my tutorial on Aperture a few weeks back.

Here, I zoomed in to focus on Necco’s face, and to minimize the really harsh backlighting from the bright sun.

And, on these last two, I zoomed in to fill the frame with my silly kids.
