Tip Tuesday: It’s a Matter of Focus

The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on the things we desire not the things we fear.

– Brian Tracy

Today’s tip can be interpreted in many different ways and in all areas of life: The slightest difference in what you are focusing on can make a huge difference in the overall picture. You can apply that to your life personally, professionally, or artistically, but today I’m applying it to photography!

For those of you who have DSLRs, don’t be afraid to manually focus your lens, especially in a very textured environment when the camera might have a hard time picking something you actually want. Note in the examples below how the drastically the feel of the photo changes when I focus on the grass versus the raindrops.
