PRO ANALYSIS
WHY SHOTS WORK
“It’s easy to over-capture with a wide angle lens, leading to a busy photo with lots of elements vying for the viewer’s attention. My advice is to keep the composition simple.”

CONTRASTS
There is more than one type of contrast you can work into a scene. In this image, we have contrast of both colour and brightness. Peng Shi has captured a full tonal range, with both bright highlights and deep shadows, completing the scale of light and dark without clipping any detail. He has also captured the contrasting colours of the yellowish stone and blue sky, which complement each other well.
