The photo above and below were shot at the same time of day…around 1pm when the sun was fairly high making the lighting very bright and harsh in comparison to the later afternoon softer sunlight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5c438de4c9e03da564f88e/db02e97e-07ef-479a-b19e-eb68c5ab84c6/684A9912.CR3.png Let's talk photography - 5 Beginner Photography Mistakes (And How to Fix Them Fast) - Make it stand out To avoid the washout of the colors and to catch the details in the highlights, the photo is now underexposed and some of the details are now lost in the shadows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5c438de4c9e03da564f88e/37d48479-1576-4dd7-8e96-31c5779a6e00/HDR_childrensvillage.png Let's talk photography - 5 Beginner Photography Mistakes (And How to Fix Them Fast) - Make it stand out The subject in this photo is not clearly recognized. Is it the pot at the very front? The musical instrument at the right? The toys in the sandbox? the items in the background? There is too much going on and nothing leads your eye to a clear subject that tells the story or purpose of the photo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5c438de4c9e03da564f88e/c0c7357c-519c-4bc2-80c8-bfb3d4e7c886/IMG_0431.jpg Let's talk photography - 5 Beginner Photography Mistakes (And How to Fix Them Fast) - Make it stand out In this photo a tripod was not being used to keep the camera steady.

But in the discovery phase, there were a lot of photos that were way over processed for an aesthetic that wasn’t really all that great looking back…colors are off, skin tones are wonky, details are lost. It’s just not good at all. https://www.expressionsinmedia.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-02-11 https://www.expressionsinmedia.com/about daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5c438de4c9e03da564f88e/9166baa7-80e0-46d5-af5d-364cc658b2ce/unsplash-image-BBmi4nJjKk8.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5c438de4c9e03da564f88e/321dddd2-954c-4e40-8d53-1a8d014c50d9/OBrienN_PH2100_26SPA_W4_Edited%282%29.jpg https://www.expressionsinmedia.com/expressions-in-media-home daily 1.0 2026-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5c438de4c9e03da564f88e/1788b7a7-0f12-4470-8bb7-c40a31723f02/MIM+2023+Catalog+Cover.jpeg Expression in Meida - Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5c438de4c9e03da564f88e/60e59890-819e-4d7b-9644-518f178d4226/EWCmakerspace.jpg Expression in Meida - Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5c438de4c9e03da564f88e/237a31ee-edd0-4b61-9ac0-6ecb64988ba5/20201022-IMG_2584-2.jpg Expression in Meida - Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5c438de4c9e03da564f88e/1e8e2644-60d9-443c-b3fb-34efc5a2a76e/MIM+2024.jpg Expression in Meida - Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5c438de4c9e03da564f88e/e01e2c92-48ba-46b4-ab55-165a2aad6611/MIM+2025.jpg Expression in Meida - Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e5c438de4c9e03da564f88e/1adafa27-a76a-4b79-84cc-eac873114ffa/National+Guare+Book+Cover.webp Expression in Meida - Home
