Good photo is a picture that contains the message. Messages can be a statement (“ This is Lake Toba”), Impression (“ Atmosphere Sunset at Lake Toba”), Or expression of emotion (“ Fall In Love in Lake Toba”). A good message is a message that is clear, decisive and effective. But how?
The message needs a subject. About what you want to convey. That could be one you know, landscape, or abstract shapes. The subject is the center of POI and are usually placed in the foreground. Then we set up the message by entering the second part, namely context, often in the form background. Context provides the relevance, availability, location of the subject, or other interests. The message is a combination of two elements? subject and context, foreground and background? which tells the message.
As the importance of knowing what needs to be inserted into the message, we also need to know what she did not need to put in the message. Anything what is not part of the subject or context of the message that we make, then it is only an annoying thorn or glass, scratched photos and make our message becomes unclear. So cut the parts that are not relevant in the vicinity of POI? usually by inching closer towards the subject, or move to get a better viewpoint? and make a clear and clean shooting. A painter creates art with the addition? add what he painted? while the photographer creates art with a reduction? reduces the parts that are not necessary.
Recipe for a good photograph is:
"A foreground, a background, and nothing else."
