In this article, rather than going into lots of high-tech talk, I’d like to share with you my top ten list of Aperture’s features that help me maximize my time when working (and playing) in the digital darkroom—features that also help me create dynamic images.

1. Perspective
4. Horizon Line- Place the positioning of the horizon line above or below the center of your subjects.
3. Framing- Try to use various elements to form a visual ‘frame‘ around another element.
2. Unequal Space- Vary the amount of distant between your main subject and the pictures edge
Explore your surroundings and take multiple shots from various angles
5. Cropping- Dead center is usually not the most interesting shot. Cropping tightly, or aggressively, into the subject creates dynamic visual space between the subject and the edges as well as dramatic imagery.
6. Intentional Empty Space- Just like Unequal Space but more dramatic.
7. Shape- Simple geometric shapes are familiar and the basics of every form
8. Lines and Curves- A painting professor I once had said that every curve was made up of tiny straight lines, this stayed with me.
9. Visual Texture- This can be made up of anything that densely fills the image. Look out for ‘Harmoniously Organized‘ texture like a close up of a man-made pattern.
10. Depth- Draw the viewers eye in and back through an image.
11. Spin- Add some movement to an image by shaking the camera or moving around to add some motion blur to subjects that are standing still or stationary.
12. Motion Shots- Shoot subjects that move to fast for the human eye to follow and see clearly
13. 360 Panoramic- Taking shots individually as you turn your body around.
14. Composites- Using the same technique as the panoramic but with this just shoot freely without any order or grid
15. Beautiful Decay- Expand your definition of beautiful and look for worn down subjects either man-made or natural.
16. Clouds- Clouds have endless variations and possibilities.
17. Shadows/Reflections- They can transform an ordinary object in something artful or abstract.
18. Light Painting- Using a longer exposure setting place your camera on a tripod and grab yourself a small pen light or flash light and ‘draw‘ with the light or shot your subject in the dark and use a ‘bulb‘ setting for a long exposure and use a flashlight to ‘paint‘ in the light
19. Light Direction- By exploring various points to light a subject with artificial or natural light, you can get the best possible image.
20. Night Shots- Working with relatively low lit situations can be tricky but also very rewarding
21. Intentional Overexposure/Underexposure- Add some style and visual impact to your shot by either overexposing or underexposing the image.
