Photograph a wide view and a detail
Whenyou have time with a place or activity
At one familiar subject, make a wide photograph that shows its setting. Then make a close photograph of a revealing detail. Choose a pair in which the detail adds something the wide view cannot show.
- Make it easier
- Use a room and one object within reach.
- Make it harder
- Make the pair suggest a person or activity without a caption.
Start tiny
Make the detail after one wide view.
