Look behind you

Focus on the background at spectacles and events to capture the drama

Sometimes what is going on around the action has the potential to be just as interesting as the action itself, as you can see in this image of spectators at a cycling event. The reactions of those watching, or the little details that could be easily missed, can tell us just as much about the drama of the situation. If a celebrity walks into the room, a footballer scores a goal, the Queen passes by in a motorcade, or any other spectacle occurs, keep one eye on the spectators and you may find a more interesting or original take on the scene.
