An implied shape is a relationship between objects that is created only in our minds.<br /><br /><b>Depth of Field</b><br />Where you choose to place the focal point in your image is critical, but it's not just what we focus on that matters, it's how much we focus on.<br /><br /><b>Long Exposures </b><br />Long exposures can capture the passing of time, give an image a dreamy effect, or even convey excitement.<br /><br /><b>Minimalism</b><br />Less is more. Minimalism is about reducing your scope and focusing only on the key elements of the scene and nothing else.
