A click from the camera and then it creates a copy that happened in the second of your most memorable moment.This may include from the tears of groom as his wife give him her vow.

Provide the viewers with lines that will direct them into you point of focus. It gives a depth, scale, and can be defined by a lot of meanings depending on how the viewer sees it. Not all minds work the same, after all. But when they see your masterpiece, automatically, a lot of meanings will be processed by their minds.

It must not only limit to a passive, serene, and calm environment. Something moving could also be captured that will make it appear that you supplicate a prayer to make the time stands still. This may includes the waves crashing on the shore.
