I’m pleased you stopped by OST Photographic Services. I’m local to the Fraser Valley and Chilliwack in particular. Take your time and look around. One of the most enjoyable things I do here, is restore photographs. But I’d have to say the most rewarding, is capturing the action in amateur sports or kids at play. There is much more I do here, but you’ll have to look around and hopefully enjoy… Feel free to contact me for further information on any of the services or posts I have made.

Shutter or Aperture priority modes are very useful and will produce excellent results if your camera is set accordingly. These exposure controls must always be taken into consideration if shooting anything other than Auto settings.

Filling the frame is the first step to better photos

In my first post under “Tips” I highlighted the topic of cropping, color correction, and a few of the basic composition rules of taking a good photograph. The first rule I mentioned was “Getting in Close” or filling the frame. In this short article I’ll showcase four subjects presented three different ways. The first of each is the basic “I shot it I’ll post it” photo. There are probably more like this than any other. The second is a cropped and color corrected version of the same photo as shown in “Make Your Photos Pop” and the third is the same subject, different point of view and trying to keep the rules of composition in mind. (the way I would shoot it) Continue reading »
