Douthitt: Panning - only 1/10 is useful, and takes practice. Simple ideas. Are you a writer b/c you buy a pencil? #dcswa18 #scicomm
Douthitt: Panning - you look like an idiot -but powerful. Organizing the photo - makes it bigger, becoming huge #dcswa18 #scicomm

Douthitt: Lowering exposure, a simple technique that makes a big difference. #dcswa18 #scicomm
3:33pm April 7th 2018 via Twitter Web Client
Douthitt: Two techniques: iPhone control, used all the time. Square on the bright part, take the sun adj down exposure #dcswa18 #scicomm
Douthitt: Now onto objects: showing effect of lighting. Behind? Above? "Made the cover of Science" #dcswa18 #scicomm

Douthitt: Different wall - neutral - decent indirect light. Points out the angle=perspective (angry subject) #dcswa18 #scicomm
Douthitt: Now in the shade: lit by reflection. Closer, looks better, but background too reflective. Then indoors #dcswa18 #scicomm

Douthitt: So you'll need four things for a photo: 5) composition. Using foreground. Bird of paradise plant. #dcswa18 #scicomm
3:16pm April 7th 2018 via Twitter Web Client
Douthitt: 3) make sure the picture include >only< what interests you. You don't need a fancy camera. #dcswa18 #scicomm
Douthitt: Our eyes may focus on the face, the camera sees all the junk and noise in background. #dcswa18 #scicomm

Douthitt:Contrast between photos: what do you want to say? And basic elements. How you see the world. #dcswa18 #scicomm
