Read this interesting article written by Darren Rowse (

photography-school.com/10-questions/

) on the ten questions you

have to ask yourself before taking a digital photo. Ask yourself

these questions when taking photos for this year’s theme.

Ten questions to ask when taking a photo:

1. What story am I telling?

2. What is the visual focal point of this shot?

3. What competing focal points are there?

4. What is in the background and foreground?

5. Am I close enough?

6. What is the main source of light?

7. Is my framing straight?

8. What other perspectives could I capture this subject from?

9. How would holding the camera in the other format change

this shot?

10. How will the eye travel through this image?
