A scene with a high dynamic range is one with a big difference between the lightest or brightest part and the darkest or shadow part. Compose a scene with areas of blackness or whiteness against which the mid-tones can shine. Think color combinations and contrast! 2. Urban Nature Style Urban Nature combines man-made structures or city culture with nature. You can work with general views of the environment or in close-up to focus on details that are usually overlooked. 3. City Streets Style Although the name says ‘city streets’, the photo does not need to be taken in a city. It’s just the name given to this style of photography. Basically, find an area where there are plenty of people present and try to capture the busy scene in a balanced, well-composed image. You can either capture a general view or get in close to take a more intimate shot. 4. Essence of Sport/Place and Capturing Character Sports of all kinds combine color, lots of action, athletic bodies, and high emotion. Photograph a sport you know or love in order to communicate what it is about it that engages you. Is it the thrill of the speed, the delicacy of balance needed, the feel of water on the skin, or the camaraderie?
Similarly, you can photograph parts of college life or of Douliou
that you know or love in order to communicate what it is about those parts that interests you. Try to show the true character of the people or place.
