When you’re out shooting action shots make sure that you don’t always have the subject in the middle of the frame. Take your time in placing the subject in the right place and your pictures will instantly improve.
Make sure you use the surroundings so that the action leads your eye into and out of the picture. Shoot, from different angles, some low, some high shots and from different distances. In other words don’t shoot every picture from the same position

I don’t know if many people know about this but I have just discovered Google Artist Themes. here
Just click on this link and you can select whatever theme you like and almost instantly the headers in Google change to one of the set you have selected. Even better than that each time you open Google it displays a different picture for the selected set.
They certainly liven up an otherwise basic screen display and no doubt it won’t be long until there are third party sets available.
I don’t know if these are useful to anyone but if you want to use them for any purpose whatsoever then feel free to do so. Click on the image below which will open a larger version. You can then right click and choose …save as ..
They could be used as part of a logo.
Let me know if they are useful and maybe I will add a few each week ….enjoy.
