 Hey hey its the younger Al with a new topic on my blog about composition of photographs.  Composition is a big part of doing photography in your taste and style with Photographs that you want to to do. I have many different styles that I use when I do photography with compositions in my photography. I have improved a lot since I started doing nature photography back in 2013 with AL D who is probably shocked I am doing a new post about composition on my blog for today.  Using different compositions is very important when doing photography at the beach. I use my own style of composition at the beaches as well. I get up early for sunrises at the Beach and do different composition styles at the beach with my photographs. Timing is key with Composition as well. Be prepared for anything that happens with your composition during those times doing more photographs . I hope this helps. Stay tuned for more parts of styles in photography coming this winter on my blog.
