Description: "Get closer" is the photography technique intended to be illustrated here. Oftentimes photos can be improved by getting closer and drawing the viewer's attention to the subject to the exclusion of the background or other environmental elements. Read my (Mike Baird's) tutorial on how to take good surf photos.
