Make Your Pictures Timeless

Getting rid of the clutter in your photos - even those family shots you take - helps to make them timeless.

I tend to forget where I am when taking nature shots, so for me, it's always a good idea to take a picture of the street name, or the town's welcome sign, or the highway numbers.  That helps me when I am looking at them somewhere in the future, to remember where I was as I take lots of unplanned "road trips" just to practice with the camera.

For those photographs you are taking that you hope will be around in the future - simply because you are an artist extraordinaire, and everyone must have the privilege of viewing them - avoid such things.

Do not include pictures on your walls, signs on the roads, trendy clothes, or makeup, posters and calendars.  One of the reasons why I'd love to get myself a backdrop for taking portrait pictures at home.   I suppose it would probably be a good idea to learn how to take portraits first.
