Variety is the spice of life.[break]

That’s what Lavinia tells herself each time she picks up another hobby. She can support them, no sweat–so what’s the harm in trying them out? The victimized hobby this week? Photography. Her cell has a decent enough camera, and she’s read up on f-stops and apertures and depth of field and all that. Whether she remembers all of it is a different story.[break]

It’s a happy coincidence that there’s a bulletin seeking out amateur photographers’ work around the same time. Vinnie’s more than happy to contribute. Adventure calls! She heeds it by hopping on the train and heading for the outdoors. Fortree’s outskirts, to be specific. What makes a better backdrop than the overflowing flora and fauna of route 119?[break]

She’s not the only one out today, not even the only one with camera in hand. Though, the stranger she spots seems much more prepared and sure of himself than she is. After a few lackluster shots, Lavinia works up the nerve to approach said stranger. “Pardon me!” She says. “Y’seem pretty good with that thing.” Lavinia points to his device with a grin. “Have any tips or tricks y’could spare for an amateur?”[break]

He was working on a new project that would hopefully catch the attention of a magazine. It would be great to have his work published, even if recognition wasn't exactly what he was after. In fact, he preferred to fade away into the background. However, having his work published would show that he was good at photography and perhaps show him what he needed to work more on. After all, there was always room for improvement.

Snapping another picture of a flowering plant he had found, he moved to a different position to take another picture. This was about the fifth picture he had taken of the same plant, all from different angles, but he didn't mind. After all, it was good to have a multitude of pictures of the same thing.
[break][break]
Pausing to look through his photos, he was interrupted when a young woman, maybe a bit older than himself, approached. He regarded her with an unreadable expression as she spoke. Photography advice? He wasn't expecting that.
[break][break]
His gaze flickered momentarily to her phone, and he resisted the urge to cringe. As someone who saw himself as a professional photographer, he was a bit mortified that she would use her phone to take photos. Sure, phones were becoming more and more advanced, but they still didn't hold a candle to a camera.
[break][break]
Keeping his expression neutral, he addressed her. "Don't stand in place when you take pictures. It's good to move around and take pictures from different angles. It's also good to keep lighting in mind when you take a photo. Too much or too little light can cause your picture to have shadows that aren't meant to be there or have a glare. Of course, the latter happens the most if you take a picture of someone who wears glasses."[break]
