You can use several layers of waxed paper or a white margarine tub, or anything similar, CAREFULLY place over bulb of light (or held by an assistant) to act as a diffuser. They work!

Negative Returns

Comment by snaffles:
Excellent use of thirds and negative space IMHO. And if you do want to learn your camera in a hurry, then definitely do what you did here...shoot, and shoot a lot, until you get what you want.

Other useful stuff for backdrops: bristol board is dirt cheap, comes in large sheets and can be rolled up when not in use. I've also used a black towel draped over a doorway for a terrific, non-reflective bg. You're doing well, keep shooting!

Auto versus Pedestrian

Comment by snaffles:
I like this because it IS busy, because you don't see what happened. The body language of the spectators says it all. Well done.

Nice effort. The background just doesn't fit.

Love the clarity and the shallow DoF.

Shouldn't the emphasis be on the bend? My eyes are drawn back to the bush when I look at the road.

Eagle's Web

Comment by PapaBob:
The eagle is so hidden that this one looks kinda like a photo of twigs, it would have been nice to get a shot with an angle with a clear shot of the eagle. I know that is harder to do than say but it would really improve the shot.

Comment by Moose408:
Nice color. I have mixed feelings about this photo and keep coming back to it. I like the DOF and I like the blurred road. But my eye keeps getting drawn to the bush and I wonder why I'm supposed to be looking at it. Then my eye wanders back to the road.
