I always have a hard time deciding on what I want to take a picture of. I usually end up taking pictures of everything. I am always surprised how ordinary objects can be turned into beautiful works of art. When it comes to making a good picture out of nothing there are three very important things you have to think about.
1. Texture - The more texture you have the better. Yes there are times when a smooth surface makes a beautiful shot but when you object is plain to begin with, you need those rough surfaces to bring attention to the piece.
2. Light - A photo is not a photo without light. The way you use light determines how good the picture is. If you can change up the directionality of the light you can make a great sight to be seen.
3. Proportion - Though you want to bring the focus to the object you are shooting, you don't always have to put your object front and center. My personal favorite is to drop my subject into one of the bottom corners, especially if I have a lot of texture in my photo.
I took all these things into consideration and I came up with the following photo. I hope you have as much fun trying it out as I did.
