In the foreground is the Adventure Cat II, a luxury catamaran that seats up to 90 passengers and takes eager tourists around the San Francisco Bay to see the sights. In front of it is the infamous prison - Alcatraz -, or aptly nicknamed "The Rock". The prison is full of history being a Military prison in the 1800's and then a federal prison in the 1900's until operations were ceased since it was too costly to run and maintain. It was home to the nation's most dangerous and violent offenders, where the isolation of the island and the strong currents of the Bay acted as a deterrent towards escaping inmates. However, that did not stop a few brave souls from attempting to swim their way to freedom.

This post is for some wedding photographers I mentor. A question I often get asked is, "What are some tips for interesting people pictures when you have a boring background to work with?" Well, boring backgrounds are a common problem and I had to deal with it during a wedding this weekend at a nice, but fairly uninspiring, golf course.

 

Here are two suggestions that might help. If the background is nothing to write home about then why not look to the foreground for inspiration? Sometimes what you put in front of your subject is as important as what is behind them. For the first picture, I shot through the branches and leaves of a nearby tree to add some foreground interest to the photo. For the second shot I kept it even more simple and framed a tree in front of the group portrait.

 

Another suggestion to solve a boring background is to make it even more boring. For the portrait of the guys I laid down on the ground to nearly eliminate the background all together and angled my camera so as to cause a lens flare. The flare and strange angle almost makes you forget that the background is pretty much a boring, solid white color.

Take on another shaft

Palms in the middle, hands in the middle.

 

Walk out another road,

something is muffled, another chuckle.

Take directions, can't connect it.

 

I'm not afraid besides; ten detected,

nine interrupted

 

A little jelly, fine

Powdered and fallen

ocean and solid

 

Something about this light

 

Take all evening

I'll just be cleaning

"You can see me

Drinking cherry cola,

Sweet serial killer.

I left a love note,

Said you know I love,

The thrill of the rush.

You know I love,

The thrill of the rush." (Lana Del Rey, Serial Killer)

Stony Creek in foreground, while beyond and to the left (south) of the Creek is a remnant of the Calumet Feeder Canal, which diverted water from the Little Calumet River to the Illinois and Michigan Canal, helping maintain the necessary water level for the I&M.

 

The Little Calumet was dammed at approximately present-day Aulwurm Drive in Blue Island (site of "Blue Bridge" in Calumet Township) and ran nearly parallel to Stony Creek through parts of Blue Island. Terminating north of Lemont, water from the Little Calumet was turned into the feeder on June 12, 1849. The feeder was used for canal traffic for nearly 20 years.

 

Flooding from the feeder caused problems upstream, particularly in Indiana. On March 27, 1874 the State of Illinois ordered the dam removed.

I've been getting quite a few people coming to this page from Google searching for how to blur the foreground of a photo. So, er, here's my take:

 

There's no good way to do this digitally. In almost any situation, the results would be unrealistic. But to do this *as you are taking the photo* is easy. Simply have something in the foreground which is out of focus. This is easiest if you have manual focus and a low f-number (aperture).

 

If you want to make the entire picture blurry, than either you can do a Gaussian Blur effect on your computer, or you can simply set your camera to manual focus and push it either to the foreground or to infinity (depending on the situation).

 

I hope this answers your question (and I hope I'm not just talking rubbish). It's actually quite difficult to find the answer when you don't know exactly what is being asked.
