Beginning Photography Tips

My intent for this site is to have it be about beginning photography tips, but I feel that in order to take better pictures it is helpful to see pictures that other people have taken. The photos that are on this post are picture that I found from Google images. I wish I had taken them myself because they are great examples of emotional photographs.

One of the best ways to portray an event, whether it be current or historic, is through photographs. Growing up I always felt that the best way to learn history is to have mental images of the times. Whether it be pictures about war or even about the fashions.

The best pictures that I have seen that involve people are the pictures that really capture emotion. I love looking at wedding pictures that aren’t posed, you can just see the happiness, and sometimes a look of regret in the bride and groom. Hopefully it is always a look of happiness, but unfortunately not all the time.

Below are pictures that I have found on the internet that I believe are great photographs for capturing emotion. Enjoy!
