Finding the Perfect Picture: Learning the Art from the Ground Up
Photography is the art, science and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.     The Focal Dictionary of Photographic Technologies
Photography requires a great sense of creativity.  Finding the subject matter that is unique, interesting, and appealing is very important.  Most photographers have a creative side that they choose to show and develop through their pictures.  When taking pictures look for great locations such as:

  • Churches
  • National and Local Parks
  • Zoos
  • Scenic Views/Overlooks
  • Bodies of Water
  • Nature Trails and 
  • Cityscapes


Check out Baylor University Professor, Curtis Callaway's professional slideshow for some ideas on creativity. 

Here are a few pictures that show creativity through unique structures, animals and scenic locations.

  1. What a great post, who would have thought you could catch all of those cool photographs in Waco? If you take the right picture at a church or at the zoo, you could be anywhere in Europe or Africa for all we know.
