Digital Advent Calendar 2010 – Day 1

Those who were reading my blog this time last year would have been aware that each day in December leading up to Christmas I posted a quick-fire digital photography tip. Well, this year is no exception and I’m back with a new set of tips which will hopefully be of interest to all levels of digital photographers.

Get a different perspective

My first tip originates from hosting the Shetland leg of the Worldwide Photo Walk in 2009 and 2010. To see a review of the 2009 walk click here and 2010 click here.

How many times have we been on holiday to a popular destination and taken the classic tourist photographs which are the same as the majority of other holidaymakers take? If you want to go home with a unique set of images you must think outside the box. Get a fresh perspective by getting down to a low vantage point or get up high for another different angle. By doing this you should end up with a pleasing group of images which are more personal than the traditional picture postcard photographs.

Worldwide Photo Walk 2010 – Winner!

Chainlink by Gillian Okill - Worldwide Photo Walk 2010 Winner (Shetland) 2010

The winner of this year’s Worldwide Photo Walk 2010 (Shetland leg) is Gillian Okill. Congratulations to Gillian who wins a digital photography book and goes forward with all the other local winners across the world to be in contention of winning the grand prize.

I chose this image because it’s pin-sharp despite being at quite a hard height to photograph. The rusty chain is well composed within the photograph. I also like the contrast between the hard, edgy stones behind the chain and the smaller, lighter ones in the distance.

Thanks to everyone that took part and I hope to see you all again next year.
