Lake Tahoe Composition

Lake Tahoe: capturing the same spot and view with different compositions truly transforms the scene. Don’t hesitate to move around, experiment with angles, and play with aperture settings whenever possible. A wider aperture can isolate elements like the round boulders, creating a soft, artistic focus, while a smaller aperture keeps the entire frame sharp, highlighting the interplay between water, rocks, and the horizon. Rule of thumb: if you just stand and shoot, it’s unlikely to be compelling. Move, crouch, climb—let the scene guide your creativity!
