Creative ideas for your next digital photos, By: Jacob Georgeson

Taking digital photos is phone. Fortunately taking digital photos is also free as there is no film development and printing cost. You can take as many photos as you want view them on your computer and delete them. For that reason experiment with digital photos is fun and easy.
There are two kinds of digital photos that people take. One is utilitarian these are photos that have a specific purpose to document and capture a specific event or milestone in life. Wedding and birthday digital photos for example are such photos as they serve a very specific purpose. The other kind of digital photos that people take is digital photos for artistic and esthetic beauty purposes. These are photos that capture emotions art and beauty.
Utilitarian photos are easier to shoot since even if the digital photo is not perfect in terms if lighting and composition it can still serve its goal of documenting an event. If a digital photo of a kid blowing his birthday cake candles is a bit blurry it is bad but it is not such a big deal since when looking at that digital photo the main purpose is to remember that moment.
Artistic digital photos that express beauty and emotions are harder to take. First the composition is harder since there is no easy to describe scene that needs to be captured. Second the photographic parameters such as lighting angle and composition are very important since they greatly influence the digital photo beauty and artistic qualities. These digital photos are also harder to shoot since coming up with what subjects or object to photograph where and how is hard.
There are some ideas for how you can extend your current digital photography opportunities. For example open magazines or different photography books and look at what photos other photographers took. This can give you ideas for new scenes new angles and new lighting effects. You do not need to spend money buying such magazines or book instead you can go to the local public library and spend a few hours browsing through them.
The other place to find ideas is in art galleries. Go and look at photo galleries from different artists. It is also useful to look at paintings and sculptures and other forms of art which can provide inspiration for ideas although they are not using the same medium.
The best way to get ideas and get better is to go out there and experience taking such artistic photos. Try to go to different places and different scenarios specially such that are different than what you are usually exposed to. For example if you live in a big city go out to the rural areas or and vice versa.
Experimenting with digital photos does not cost money. Take plenty of photos and play with parameters such as lighting and composition. Go home and view the digital photos and see which one you like better. When you find digital photos that you took and you like try to remember and figure out how it was taken and to analyze why you like it. For example maybe it is the angle in which the digital photo was taken or maybe you like it because or specific lighting conditions. When you find out why you like a digital photo go back to the field and take more photos trying to repeat and improve the digital photography parameters that you liked.

More of Solomon’s Proverbs.

Here are more of Solomon’s Proverbs, copied by men at court of King Hezekiah of Judah.
We honour God for what he conceals; we honour kings for what they explain.
You never know what a king is thinking; his thoughts are beyond us, like the heights of the sky or the depths of the ocean.
Take the impurities out of silver and the artist can produce a thing of beauty. Keep evil advisers away from the king and his government will be known for its justice.
When you stand before the king, don’t try to impress him and pretend to be important. It is better to be asked to take a higher position than to be told to give your place to someone more important.
Don’t be too quick to go to court about something you have seen. If another witness later proves you are wrong, what will you do then?
If you and your neighbour have a difference of opinion, settle it between yourselves and do not reveal any secrets. Otherwise anyone will learn that you can’t keep a secret, and you will never live down the shame.
An idea well-expressed is like a design of gold, set in silver.
A warning given by an experienced person to someone willing to listen is more valuable than gold rings or jewellery made of the finest gold.
A reliable messenger is refreshing to the one who sends him, like cold water in the heat of harvest time.
People who promise things that they never give are like clouds and wind that bring no rain.
Patient persuasion can break down the strongest resistance and can even convince rulers.
Never eat more honey than you need; too much may make you vomit. Don’t visit your neighbour too often; he may get tired of you and come to hate you.
A false accusation is as deadly as a sword, a club, or a sharp arrow.
Depending on an unreliable person in a crisis is like trying to chew with a loose tooth or walk with a crippled foot.
Singing to a person who is depressed is like taking off his clothes on a cold day or like rubbing salt in a wound.
If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. You will make him burn with shame, and the Lord will reward you.
Gossip brings anger just as surely as the north wind brings rain.
Better to live on the roof than share the house with a nagging wife.
Finally hearing good news from a distant land is like a drink of cold water when you are dry and thirsty.
A good person who gives in to someone who is evil reminds you of a polluted spring or a poisoned well.
Too much honey is bad for you and so is trying to win too much praise.
If you cannot control your anger, you are as helpless as a city without walls, open to attack.
Praise for a fool is out of place, like snow in summer or rain at harvest time.
Curses cannot hurt you unless you deserve them. They are like birds that fly by and never settle.
You have to whip a horse, you have to bridle a donkey, and you have to beat a fool.
If you answer a silly question, you are just as silly as the person who asked it.
Give a silly answer to a silly question, and the one who asked it will realize that he is not as clever as he thinks.
If you let a fool to deliver a message, you might as well cut off your own feet; you are asking for trouble.
A fool can use a proverb about as well as a crippled man can use his legs.
Praising someone who is stupid makes as much sense as tying stone in a catapult.
A fool quoting a wise saying reminds you of a drunk man trying to pick a thorn out of his hand.
An employer who hires any fool that comes along is only hurting everybody concerned.
A fool doing some stupid thing a second time is like dog going back to its vomit.
The most stupid fool is better off than someone who thinks he is wise when is not.
Why doesn’t the lazy man ever get out of the house? What is he afraid of? Lions?
The lazy man turns over in bed. He gets no farther than a door swinging on its hinges.
Some people too lazy to put food in their mouths.
A lazy man will think he is more intelligent than seven men who can give good reasons for their opinions.
Getting involved in an argument that is none of your business is like going down the street and grabbing a dog by the ears.
A man who misleads someone and then claims that he was only joking is like a mad man playing with a deadly weapon.
Without wood, fire goes out; without gossip, quarrelling stops.
Charcoal keeps embers glowing, wood keeps the fire burning, and troublemakers keep argument alive.
Gossip is so tasty! How we love to swallow it!
Insincere talk that hides what you are really thinking is like a fine glaze on a cheap clay pot.
A hypocrite hides his hate behind his flattering words. They may sound fine, but don’t believe him, because his heart is filled to the brim with hate. He may disguise his hatred, but everyone will see the evil things he does.
People who set traps for others get caught themselves. People who start landslides get crushed.
You have to hate someone to want to hurt him with lies. Insincere talk brings nothing but ruin.
