A Place in Four Pictures: WA Maritime Museum in Fremantle

When we travel, we often visit places like museums and art galleries and it can be quite difficult to get decent pictures as many displays are dimly lit or behind glass.

A visit to a local museum before you travel can help hone your skills.

In this case I visited the WA Maritime Museum in Fremantle to capture a little picture story. It is an interesting place with lots of cool stuff to photograph and crowded with many different types of displays (and people), so it can be difficult to isolate things and make them stand out.

I ended up with lots of pictures put I chose these four for my story. Each picture caption has a short explanation of how the picture was taken.

TIPS FOR CREATING A PHOTO STORY

Once you’re at your chosen location, put your photographer’s hat on and start looking for pictures.

Set the scene: Look for a nice establishing shot that shows where you are.

Keep it simple: Identify a key element in the shot and use composition techniques like leading lines, frames or rule of thirds to draw attention to it. Simple, easy to understand pictures are always best.

Keep it clean: Eliminate unsightly elements in the frame by changing your point of view or focal length.

Mix it up: A mix of wide and deep pictures and a close-up or detail shot in a series can add some variety.

Pick your time: When we travel we aren’t always at a location at the best time for photography. The soft light and long shadows around sunrise and sunset are always nice, so if you can, time it so you are there for the “golden hours” to really make your pictures pop.

Once you’re home: Edit your pictures hard. Quality beats quantity. If you have taken lots of pics from a place, you may end up with several sets. Group them together like chapters in a book.

If you are photographing small objects you can press your camera lens right up against the glass to eliminate reflections but for big objects like this sailing ship you will obviously need to stand back a bit to get the whole ship in the picture. In this example I have used the 2x lens on my Pixel 9 Pro to get a bit of distance between the cabinet and myself to avoid getting my own reflection in the glass.
