Balance of light is the problem, not the amount. Balance between shadows and highlights determines where the emphasis goes in the picture...make sure the major light in a picture falls at right angles to the camera.

After following the crowd for a while, I'd then go 180 degrees in the exact opposite direction. It always worked for me.

I am a professional photographer by trade and an amateur photographer by vocation.

Be sure to take the lens cap off before photographing.

I'm not a serious photographer like many of my contemporaries. That is to say, I am serious about not being serious.

The work I care about is terribly simple. I observe. I try to entertain. But above all I want my pictures to be emotional. Little else interests me in photography.

All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for the inability to notice.
