The warm setting sun was the perfect symbolic background to express these feelings. To me, vineyards are about long days of outdoor work, and the romance of shared wine. There really wasn’t anything nice near her to use as a background, except golden light from the setting sun. This is a job that needs to be done in the spring before any green actually appears on the vines. In this example, my wife is tying up vines in a vineyard. For example, a sunset in the background isn’t just about the sun, perhaps it’s about “romance” or “a happy ending.” You do this by finding a background that makes you think deeper than the literal object itself. But you can use a background to give your story some symbolic meaning as well. So far, all of the backgrounds in these photos have been literal scenes. Choose the background and then wait for the character to come along. This is a perfect approach for both landscape and street photography. Once you have done this, you can look for a character to add to the scene, allowing it to become a background for their story. Next time you come across a nice scene, go ahead and photograph the scene by itself. Our kids will always remember their first childhood home (and the fun they had there) when they look back on these photos. When the man began skipping stones out into the water I knew that these were the characters I was awaiting. Finally, a couple with their dog came walking down the shoreline. I experimented with different angles and perspectives, but I knew I needed some good characters in the scene. When we visited Halls Harbour in Nova Scotia, the rugged shoreline was an obvious feature to photograph. But also wait and allow that scene to become a background for some interesting characters. When you come across an interesting scene, go ahead and photograph it. Perhaps it is the character that is missing. There may be times when you want to photograph an interesting scene but feel that there is something missing. Can you move around in order to get a good background to help with storytelling?

Plus it emphasizes how small he is comparatively. The huge pile of wood is a natural background for the little wood chopper.

I wasn’t thinking of him merely as my son, but rather as a “hiker.” Thinking of him as a hiker helped me choose a background that portrayed the story of a hiker. When you’re going to take a picture of somebody ask, “Who is this character and what are they doing?” When you answer these questions you’ll be able to choose a good background to help tell that story. The first thing I recommend is thinking of the people in your photo as characters. Use the background to show where your moment or story takes place. One way to overcome these distractions is to use the background to help with storytelling in your photo.Įven though “the moment” is likely the most important part of your photo, good moments always happen in a place. When you look at your photos later, you realize that there are all sorts of distractions in the background. As the Backgrounds in Battle for Baldur's Gate offer a wide range of abilities and vary greatly in power, we're going to examine which cards of this new subtype are the strongest.Sometimes you’re so focused on capturing the moment that you forget to pay attention to what’s in the background of your photo. In a similar vein, Backgrounds are legendary enchantments that can be paired in the Command Zone with a Commander with the ability, "Choose a Background." This can allow these commanders to potentially be used to create decks of various color identities and strategies based on a player's choice of Background.
