Light, the right lens selection and angle of view can create an image of an everyday, seemingly ordinary object, and make it look interesting. By ~lzee~by~the~Sea~is~not~really~all~here~ So your goal this week is to find some inanimate objects to photograph – in an interesting way. Use your imagination and creativity. How can you bring this ordinary thing to life? What camera settings...
