The Beautiful Basics

The most basic and sometime the most intriguing form of photography is photography in everyday life. Taking your camera for a walk and taking pictures of things that move you. It doesn't have to be anything special, a tree, a flower, the road. The key is to capture the part of the image that moves you. If it is a piece of litter on the road that you see capturing an image of pollution then take the picture in a way that shows the viewer of your photo what you thought when you saw this. If it is simply a beautiful flower, then try to capture to beauty that you saw and show the viewer why this specific flower is so beautiful.
Here are some example of my favourite picture from my photography in real life.

This image struck me as meanigningful when I saw it. The part that stands out the most to me is the grass growing around and up through the driveway, like nature's struggle against man's damage.

When taking photos in everyday life, remember, it doesn't have to be the prettiest image, it just has to have meaning.
